Published: Tue Apr 08 2025 (04/08/2025, 08:22:09 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: syammohanm
Product: WPFront User Role Editor

Description

The WPFront User Role Editor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 4.2.1. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the whitelist_options() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update the default role option that can be leveraged for privilege escalation via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link. This is only exploitable on multisite instances.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2025-3064 is a CSRF vulnerability in the WPFront User Role Editor plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 4.2.1. The root cause is missing or incorrect nonce validation in the whitelist_options() function. This allows an attacker to craft a forged request that, if executed by a site administrator on a multisite instance, can update the default role option and escalate privileges. The vulnerability requires user interaction (UI:R) but no privileges (PR:N) and can be exploited remotely (AV:N).

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation can lead to an attacker changing the default user role on multisite WordPress installations, enabling privilege escalation with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This could allow unauthorized administrative access or other elevated permissions, severely compromising the affected site.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, administrators of multisite WordPress instances using this plugin should consider disabling the plugin or restricting access to trusted users only. Additionally, educating administrators to avoid clicking on untrusted links can reduce risk.
