CVE-2025-30968 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability identified in the jokerbr313 Advanced Post List plugin, affecting versions up to 0.5.6.2. CSRF vulnerabilities occur when an attacker tricks an authenticated user into submitting a forged request to a web application, causing the application to perform unwanted actions on behalf of the user without their consent. In this case, the Advanced Post List plugin lacks adequate CSRF protections, allowing attackers to potentially manipulate post listings or related functionalities by exploiting the victim's active session. The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.4, indicating a medium severity level. The vector indicates that the attack can be performed remotely over the network (AV:N), requires no privileges (PR:N), but does require user interaction (UI:R). The impact affects integrity and availability (I:L/A:L) but not confidentiality (C:N). There are no known exploits in the wild at the time of publication, and no patches have been linked yet. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-352, which is a common web application security weakness related to CSRF attacks. Given the nature of the plugin, which is likely used in content management systems (CMS) such as WordPress, the vulnerability could allow attackers to alter post listings or disrupt content presentation, potentially leading to misinformation or denial of service for content management operations.

For European organizations, especially those relying on the jokerbr313 Advanced Post List plugin within their CMS environments, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized content manipulation and service disruption. While the confidentiality of data is not directly impacted, the integrity and availability of web content can be compromised, which may affect the organization's reputation, user trust, and operational continuity. Organizations in sectors such as media, publishing, education, and e-commerce that depend heavily on accurate and reliable content presentation are particularly vulnerable. Additionally, if exploited in a targeted manner, attackers could use this vulnerability to spread misinformation or disrupt communication channels. The requirement for user interaction means phishing or social engineering tactics could be used to induce users to trigger the malicious requests. Given the medium severity and lack of known exploits, the immediate risk is moderate, but the vulnerability should be addressed proactively to prevent future exploitation.

Organizations should implement the following specific mitigation steps: 1) Immediately audit all instances of the jokerbr313 Advanced Post List plugin to identify affected versions. 2) Monitor vendor communications and security advisories for official patches or updates addressing CVE-2025-30968 and apply them promptly once available. 3) In the interim, implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block suspicious CSRF attempts targeting the plugin's endpoints. 4) Enforce strict Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to reduce the risk of malicious cross-origin requests. 5) Educate users about the risks of phishing and social engineering attacks that could trigger CSRF exploits, emphasizing cautious behavior when clicking on links or submitting forms. 6) Review and enhance overall CSRF protections in the CMS environment, including the use of anti-CSRF tokens and same-site cookies. 7) Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on web application vulnerabilities to detect similar issues proactively.
