CVE-2025-3915 is a vulnerability identified in the Aeropage Sync for Airtable plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 3.2.0. The core issue is a missing authorization check (CWE-862) in the 'aeropageDeletePost' function. This flaw allows any authenticated user with at least Subscriber-level access to delete arbitrary posts on the WordPress site without proper permission validation. Since WordPress Subscriber roles typically have very limited capabilities, this vulnerability significantly elevates the risk by enabling low-privileged users to perform unauthorized destructive actions. The vulnerability does not require user interaction beyond authentication, and the attack vector is network-based (remote). The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.3 (medium severity), reflecting low impact on confidentiality and availability but a limited impact on integrity due to unauthorized deletion of posts. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no official patches have been released as of the publication date. The vulnerability is particularly relevant for websites using the Aeropage Sync for Airtable plugin, which integrates Airtable data with WordPress content management, potentially exposing business-critical or public-facing content to unauthorized deletion. The lack of a capability check means the plugin fails to enforce role-based access control properly, a fundamental security principle in WordPress plugin development.

For European organizations, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized content deletion on WordPress sites that utilize the Aeropage Sync for Airtable plugin. This may disrupt business operations, damage brand reputation, and cause data loss, especially for companies relying on WordPress for marketing, e-commerce, or internal communications. While the vulnerability does not directly expose sensitive data or cause service outages, the integrity of published content is compromised, which can affect trustworthiness and user experience. Organizations in sectors such as media, education, government, and SMEs that use WordPress extensively are at risk. Additionally, attackers with low-level access (e.g., compromised subscriber accounts or insider threats) can exploit this flaw to sabotage content without needing elevated privileges. The absence of known exploits reduces immediate risk, but the vulnerability's simplicity and low privilege requirement make it a likely target for opportunistic attackers once exploits become available. European organizations must consider the regulatory implications of content loss under GDPR if the deleted content includes personal data or affects transparency obligations.

1. Immediate mitigation includes restricting Subscriber-level account creation and monitoring existing Subscriber accounts for suspicious activity. 2. Implement strict user role management and audit logs to detect unauthorized deletions. 3. Disable or remove the Aeropage Sync for Airtable plugin if it is not essential, until a security patch is released. 4. For sites requiring the plugin, consider applying custom code to enforce capability checks on the 'aeropageDeletePost' function, ensuring only authorized roles (e.g., Editor or Administrator) can delete posts. 5. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious requests targeting the vulnerable function. 6. Regularly back up WordPress content and database to enable quick restoration in case of unauthorized deletions. 7. Monitor official Aeropage and WordPress security advisories for patches or updates addressing this vulnerability and apply them promptly. 8. Educate site administrators and content managers about the risk and signs of exploitation to enhance early detection.
