CVE-2025-30944 identifies a missing authorization vulnerability within the Essekia Tablesome Table Premium plugin, a tool used to enhance table functionalities in web environments, likely WordPress-based. The vulnerability arises because certain functions within the plugin are not properly constrained by Access Control Lists (ACLs), allowing unauthorized users to invoke these functions. This can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive features or data manipulation that should be restricted to privileged users. The affected versions include all releases up to and including 1.1.23. Although no exploits have been reported in the wild, the vulnerability is significant because missing authorization is a common and critical security flaw that can be exploited by attackers with minimal effort if they have access to the system. The vulnerability does not require user interaction, increasing the risk of automated or remote exploitation. The absence of a CVSS score necessitates an assessment based on the nature of the flaw, which impacts confidentiality and integrity by allowing unauthorized access and potential data tampering. The plugin is used primarily in content management systems, and its compromise could affect the integrity of displayed data and potentially lead to broader system compromise if chained with other vulnerabilities.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized data access and manipulation, potentially leading to data breaches, loss of data integrity, and disruption of services relying on the plugin. Organizations using Tablesome Table Premium for critical data presentation or internal dashboards may face operational impacts if attackers exploit this flaw to alter or expose sensitive information. The vulnerability could also be leveraged as a foothold for further attacks within the network if the compromised system has broader access. Given the plugin’s role in web environments, exploitation could affect customer-facing websites, damaging reputation and compliance posture, especially under GDPR regulations. The lack of known exploits currently limits immediate widespread impact, but the potential for exploitation remains significant, particularly for organizations slow to update or monitor their plugin usage.

Organizations should immediately inventory their use of the Tablesome Table Premium plugin and verify the version in use. Until an official patch is released, restrict access to the plugin’s administrative interfaces and functions to trusted users only, using web application firewalls or access control mechanisms at the server or network level. Monitor logs for unusual access patterns related to the plugin’s functionality. Once a patch becomes available, apply it promptly. Additionally, implement principle of least privilege for all users interacting with the plugin and conduct regular security audits of plugins and extensions. Consider disabling or removing the plugin if it is not essential to reduce the attack surface. Employ security tools that can detect unauthorized access attempts and anomalous behavior related to plugin functions.
