CVE-2025-11497

The Advanced Database Cleaner plugin for WordPress contains a security weakness in all versions prior to 3.1.6, specifically within the aDBc_prepare_elements_to_clean() function where nonce validation is either absent or improperly configured. This oversight enables malicious actors to manipulate settings without authentication by inducing an administrator into executing a specific action. The vulnerability allows unauthorized manipulation of the "keep last" setting through a crafted request.
