CVE-2025-2103: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in IronTemplates SoundRise Music
The SoundRise Music plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data that can lead to privilege escalation due to a missing capability check on theironMusic_ajax() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.11. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to update arbitrary options on the WordPress site. This can be leveraged to update the default role for registration to administrator and enable user registration for attackers to gain administrative user access to a vulnerable site.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-2103 is a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in the SoundRise Music plugin for WordPress by IronTemplates. The vulnerability exists because the theironMusic_ajax() function does not perform proper capability checks, allowing authenticated users with low privileges (subscriber and above) to update arbitrary WordPress options. This can be exploited to escalate privileges by setting the default registration role to administrator and enabling user registration, thereby granting attackers administrative access to the site. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.6.11. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.8, indicating high severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no user interaction required.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows authenticated users with minimal privileges to escalate to full administrative control of the WordPress site. This compromises confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the site by enabling unauthorized modification of critical settings and creation of administrative accounts.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix is currently available from the vendor. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is released, restrict subscriber-level user access and disable user registration if not required to reduce attack surface. Monitor for updates from IronTemplates regarding an official fix.
