CVE-2025-47670 is a vulnerability classified under CWE-98, which pertains to improper control of filenames used in include or require statements within PHP programs. Specifically, this vulnerability affects the miniOrange WordPress Social Login and Register plugin, versions up to 7.6.10. The issue allows for PHP Local File Inclusion (LFI), where an attacker can manipulate the filename parameter used in PHP's include or require functions to include unintended files from the local filesystem. This can lead to arbitrary code execution, disclosure of sensitive files, or other malicious actions depending on the contents of the included files. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network without requiring authentication or user interaction, but it has a high attack complexity, meaning that exploitation requires specific conditions or knowledge. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 8.1, indicating a high severity impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability does not have known exploits in the wild as of the publication date. The lack of patch links suggests that a fix may not yet be publicly available or is pending release. The vulnerability is critical because it can allow attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code or access sensitive data by including local files, potentially leading to full system compromise of the affected WordPress site.

For European organizations using the miniOrange WordPress Social Login and Register plugin, this vulnerability poses a significant risk. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive user data, including personally identifiable information (PII), login credentials, and internal configuration files. This could result in data breaches violating GDPR regulations, leading to legal and financial penalties. Additionally, attackers could leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code, deface websites, or use compromised servers as pivot points for further attacks within the corporate network. The availability of the affected plugin in many WordPress installations across Europe means that organizations relying on this plugin for user authentication and social login features are at risk of service disruption and reputational damage. Given the high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts, the threat is particularly concerning for sectors handling sensitive data such as finance, healthcare, government, and e-commerce within Europe.

1. Immediate assessment of all WordPress installations to identify the presence and version of the miniOrange Social Login and Register plugin. 2. Disable or remove the plugin temporarily if an update or patch is not yet available to prevent exploitation. 3. Monitor web server logs for suspicious requests attempting to exploit file inclusion, such as unusual URL parameters or attempts to include system files. 4. Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules specifically designed to detect and block attempts to exploit local file inclusion vulnerabilities targeting this plugin. 5. Restrict file system permissions for the web server user to limit access to sensitive files that could be included maliciously. 6. Once a patch or update is released by miniOrange, apply it promptly and verify the fix through testing. 7. Educate developers and administrators on secure coding practices to avoid improper input validation in include/require statements. 8. Conduct regular vulnerability scans and penetration tests focusing on WordPress plugins to detect similar issues proactively.
