What is known
The Stop User Enumeration WordPress plugin before version 1.7.3 blocks REST API /wp-json/wp/v2/users/ requests for non-authorized users. However, this can be bypassed by URL-encoding the API path.
Business impact
Successful exploitation of CVE-2025-4302, a medium vulnerability (CVSS 5.3) affecting stop user enumeration, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.
Recommended administrator action
Confirm whether stop user enumeration is present and compare installed versions with the vendor advisory and NVD record. Apply the vendor patch or documented mitigation; until remediation is complete, reduce exposure of affected interfaces, review relevant logs and monitor for indicators of exploitation. DataHouse can support version verification, managed patching, network exposure reduction, log review and backup validation for dedicated, cloud and colocated environments.
