CVE-2025-48310 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability identified in the wptableeditor Table Editor product, affecting versions up to 1.6.4. CSRF vulnerabilities occur when an attacker tricks an authenticated user into submitting a malicious request to a web application in which they are currently authenticated, without their consent or knowledge. In this case, the vulnerability allows an attacker to perform unauthorized actions on behalf of the user within the Table Editor interface. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.3, indicating a medium severity level. The vector string (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N) reveals that the attack can be performed remotely over the network without privileges, requires low attack complexity, and needs user interaction (such as clicking a malicious link). The impact is limited to integrity, with no confidentiality or availability impact. The vulnerability does not require authentication, but the user must be logged into the vulnerable application and interact with the malicious content for exploitation to succeed. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, 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. The wptableeditor Table Editor is a web-based tool used to manage and edit tables, often integrated into content management systems or websites, making it a potential target for attackers aiming to manipulate data or configurations silently.

For European organizations using the wptableeditor Table Editor, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized modification of table data or configurations through CSRF attacks. While the impact is limited to integrity and does not affect confidentiality or availability, unauthorized data changes can lead to misinformation, corrupted data sets, or altered configurations that may disrupt business processes or damage organizational reputation. Since exploitation requires user interaction and the user to be authenticated, the risk is higher in environments where users frequently access the Table Editor via web browsers and may be susceptible to phishing or social engineering. Organizations in sectors with high reliance on web content management, such as media, education, and e-commerce, may face increased risk. However, the absence of known exploits and the medium severity suggest that immediate widespread impact is limited but should not be ignored.

To mitigate this CSRF vulnerability effectively, European organizations should implement the following specific measures: 1) Apply any available patches or updates from the wptableeditor vendor as soon as they are released. Since no patch links are currently provided, maintain close monitoring of vendor advisories. 2) Implement CSRF tokens in all state-changing requests within the Table Editor interface to ensure that requests originate from legitimate users. 3) Employ the SameSite cookie attribute with a strict or lax setting to reduce the risk of cross-origin requests. 4) Educate users about the risks of clicking on unsolicited links or visiting untrusted websites while authenticated to the Table Editor. 5) Use web application firewalls (WAFs) configured to detect and block suspicious CSRF attack patterns targeting the Table Editor endpoints. 6) Restrict access to the Table Editor interface via network segmentation or VPNs to limit exposure to trusted users only. 7) Monitor logs for unusual or unauthorized modification attempts to detect exploitation attempts early. These targeted actions go beyond generic advice by focusing on both technical controls and user awareness specific to the nature of this CSRF vulnerability.
