CVE-2025-30944 identifies a missing authorization vulnerability in the Essekia Tablesome Table Premium plugin, affecting all versions up to 1.1.23. The vulnerability arises because certain functionality within the plugin is not properly constrained by Access Control Lists (ACLs), allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to invoke sensitive functions without any privilege checks. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.5, reflecting a high-severity issue primarily due to the confidentiality impact (C:H), with no impact on integrity or availability. The attack vector is network-based (AV:N), with low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), and no user interaction needed (UI:N). This means an attacker can exploit the vulnerability remotely without authentication or user action. The scope is unchanged (S:U), indicating the vulnerability affects only the vulnerable component. Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the vulnerability's characteristics make it a prime candidate for exploitation. The plugin is typically used in content management systems to enhance table functionalities, so unauthorized access could lead to exposure of sensitive tabular data or administrative functions. The lack of patch links suggests that a fix may not yet be publicly available, emphasizing the need for vigilance and interim mitigations.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk of unauthorized data exposure, particularly for entities relying on the Tablesome Table Premium plugin within their CMS environments. Confidential information stored or managed via the plugin could be accessed by attackers without authentication, potentially leading to data breaches, regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR violations), and reputational damage. Since the vulnerability does not affect integrity or availability, the primary concern is confidentiality loss. Organizations in sectors handling sensitive or personal data—such as finance, healthcare, and government—are especially vulnerable. The ease of exploitation and network accessibility increase the likelihood of attacks, which could be leveraged for further lateral movement or reconnaissance within compromised networks. The absence of known exploits currently provides a window for proactive defense, but the high CVSS score underscores the urgency of mitigation.

1. Monitor Essekia’s official channels for patches addressing CVE-2025-30944 and apply them immediately upon release. 2. Until patches are available, restrict network access to the CMS hosting Tablesome Table Premium, limiting exposure to trusted IP addresses only. 3. Implement Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block unauthorized attempts to access plugin-specific endpoints or functions. 4. Conduct thorough audits of user permissions and plugin configurations to ensure no excessive privileges are granted. 5. Enable detailed logging and monitor for anomalous access patterns related to the plugin’s functionality. 6. Consider temporarily disabling or replacing the plugin if critical data exposure risk is unacceptable and no patch is available. 7. Educate IT and security teams about this vulnerability to ensure rapid incident response if exploitation attempts are detected. 8. Regularly review and update ACLs and access policies within the CMS environment to minimize attack surface.
