CVE-2025-2935: CWE-352 Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in webguyio Stop Spammers Classic
The Anti-Spam: Spam Protection | Block Spam Users, Comments, Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 2024.7. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation in the 'ss_option_maint.php' and 'ss_user_filter_list' files. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete pending comments, and re-enable a previously blocked user via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Stop Spammers Classic WordPress plugin suffers from a CSRF vulnerability (CWE-352) stemming from improper or missing nonce validation in 'ss_option_maint.php' and 'ss_user_filter_list' files. This allows attackers to craft malicious requests that, when executed by an authenticated administrator, can delete pending comments or re-enable blocked users without proper authorization. The vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to 2024.7. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, and limited confidentiality and integrity impacts. No patch or vendor advisory is currently available, and the product is not a cloud service, so remediation depends on vendor updates.
Potential Impact
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to cause an administrator to unknowingly delete pending comments or re-enable blocked users on the affected WordPress site. This could lead to unauthorized content management actions and potential circumvention of spam blocking controls. The confidentiality and integrity impacts are limited, and availability is not affected. There are no known exploits in the wild currently.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, administrators should be cautious about clicking on untrusted links while logged into the WordPress admin interface. Monitoring for updates from the vendor webguyio is recommended to apply any forthcoming official fixes.
