CVE-2025-47527 is a Missing Authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) found in the Icegram Collect – Easy Form, Lead Collection and Subscription plugin, affecting versions up to 1.3.18. This plugin is commonly used in WordPress environments to facilitate form creation, lead collection, and subscription management. The vulnerability arises from improperly configured access control mechanisms, allowing users with limited privileges (PR:L - privileges required: low) to perform actions or access functionalities that should be restricted. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.1, indicating a high impact on availability (A:H) and integrity (I:L), but no impact on confidentiality (C:N). The attack vector is network-based (AV:N), requiring no user interaction (UI:N), and the scope remains unchanged (S:U). Although no known exploits are currently in the wild, the vulnerability could allow an attacker with low privileges to disrupt service availability or alter data integrity within the plugin's functionality, potentially leading to denial of service or manipulation of lead/subscription data. The absence of a patch link suggests that a fix may not yet be publicly available, emphasizing the need for vigilance and mitigation.

For European organizations, especially those relying on WordPress websites with the Icegram Collect plugin for customer engagement, marketing, or subscription services, this vulnerability poses a significant risk. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized modifications of lead data or subscription lists, impacting business operations, customer trust, and regulatory compliance (e.g., GDPR). The high impact on availability could disrupt critical marketing campaigns or lead collection processes, causing operational downtime. Integrity compromise could result in corrupted or falsified data, affecting decision-making and potentially leading to financial loss or reputational damage. Given the network-based attack vector and no requirement for user interaction, attackers could automate exploitation attempts, increasing the threat level. Organizations handling sensitive customer data must be particularly cautious, as any data manipulation or service disruption could have cascading effects on privacy compliance and customer relations.

European organizations should immediately audit their WordPress installations to identify the presence and version of the Icegram Collect plugin. Until an official patch is released, it is advisable to restrict access to the plugin's administrative and API endpoints using web application firewalls (WAFs) or IP whitelisting to limit exposure. Implement strict role-based access controls within WordPress to ensure only trusted users have low-level privileges that could be exploited. Monitor logs for unusual activity related to the plugin, such as unexpected form submissions or configuration changes. Consider temporarily disabling the plugin if it is not critical to operations. Additionally, organizations should subscribe to vendor and security mailing lists to receive timely updates on patches or workarounds. Employing intrusion detection systems (IDS) to detect anomalous behavior targeting the plugin can provide early warning of exploitation attempts.
