CVE-2025-3915: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in aeropage Aeropage Sync for Airtable
The Aeropage Sync for Airtable plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized loss of data due to a missing capability check on the 'aeropageDeletePost' function in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to delete arbitrary posts.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-3915 identifies a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in the Aeropage Sync for Airtable plugin for WordPress, specifically in the 'aeropageDeletePost' function. This function lacks a proper capability check, which means that any authenticated user with at least Subscriber-level privileges can invoke it to delete arbitrary posts. The vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to and including 3.2.0. Since WordPress roles such as Subscriber are typically assigned to low-privilege users, this flaw significantly lowers the barrier for unauthorized data manipulation. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without user interaction, as it requires only authentication. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.3 (medium), reflecting the limited scope of impact—no confidentiality or availability loss, only integrity loss—and the requirement for authenticated access. No patches or fixes are currently linked, and no known exploits have been reported in the wild. The vulnerability could be leveraged by malicious insiders or compromised low-privilege accounts to delete content, potentially disrupting website operations or causing data loss. The plugin’s integration with Airtable suggests that data synchronization workflows could be indirectly affected if posts are deleted unexpectedly.
Potential Impact
The primary impact of CVE-2025-3915 is unauthorized data integrity loss through deletion of posts by users who should not have such permissions. This can lead to content loss, disruption of website functionality, and potential reputational damage for organizations relying on the Aeropage Sync for Airtable plugin. Since the vulnerability requires authenticated access at Subscriber level or higher, the risk is elevated in environments where user accounts are not tightly controlled or where attackers can gain low-level credentials. The absence of confidentiality or availability impact limits the scope to data integrity, but unauthorized deletions can still cause significant operational issues, especially for content-driven websites or those relying on synchronized data workflows. Organizations with large user bases or public registration may be more vulnerable to exploitation. The lack of known exploits reduces immediate risk, but the vulnerability remains a concern until patched or mitigated.
Mitigation Recommendations
To mitigate CVE-2025-3915, organizations should first verify if they use the Aeropage Sync for Airtable plugin and identify the installed version. Since no official patch is currently linked, administrators should consider the following specific actions: 1) Restrict user roles and permissions to minimize the number of users with Subscriber-level or higher access, especially in untrusted environments. 2) Implement additional access control mechanisms such as web application firewalls (WAFs) to monitor and block unauthorized calls to the 'aeropageDeletePost' function or suspicious deletion requests. 3) Temporarily disable or remove the plugin if feasible until a patch is released. 4) Monitor logs for unusual deletion activity or access patterns indicative of exploitation attempts. 5) Educate site administrators and users about the risk and encourage strong authentication practices to reduce the likelihood of credential compromise. 6) Stay updated with vendor announcements for patches or security updates and apply them promptly once available. 7) Consider custom code fixes or filters that enforce capability checks on the vulnerable function if immediate patching is not possible.
