CVE-2025-49270: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in Mario Peshev WP-CRM System
Missing Authorization vulnerability in Mario Peshev WP-CRM System allows Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs. This issue affects WP-CRM System: from n/a through 3.4.2.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-49270 is a Missing Authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) identified in the WP-CRM System developed by Mario Peshev. This vulnerability affects versions up to 3.4.2 of the WP-CRM System. The core issue is that certain functionality within the system is not properly constrained by Access Control Lists (ACLs), allowing unauthorized users to access features or perform actions that should require specific permissions. According to the CVSS v3.1 vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N), the vulnerability can be exploited remotely over the network without any privileges or user interaction, making it relatively easy to exploit. The impact is limited to integrity, meaning unauthorized users can potentially modify data or perform unauthorized operations, but confidentiality and availability are not directly affected. No known exploits are currently in the wild, and no patches have been published yet. The vulnerability is classified as medium severity with a CVSS score of 5.3. The lack of proper authorization checks in a CRM system can lead to unauthorized data manipulation, potentially undermining business processes and trust in the system's data integrity.
Potential Impact
For European organizations using the WP-CRM System, this vulnerability poses a risk primarily to data integrity within their customer relationship management workflows. Unauthorized modification of CRM data could lead to incorrect customer information, erroneous business decisions, or manipulation of sales and support records. While confidentiality and availability are not directly impacted, the integrity compromise could have downstream effects such as financial discrepancies, compliance issues (especially under GDPR if personal data is altered), and reputational damage. Organizations relying heavily on WP-CRM for customer data management or sales operations may face operational disruptions or loss of trust from clients. Since exploitation requires no authentication or user interaction, attackers can remotely exploit this vulnerability, increasing the risk of automated or targeted attacks. However, the absence of known exploits in the wild suggests that immediate widespread exploitation is not yet observed, but proactive mitigation is advised.
Mitigation Recommendations
Given the absence of an official patch, European organizations should implement compensating controls to mitigate this vulnerability. First, restrict network access to the WP-CRM System to trusted IP ranges and internal networks only, reducing exposure to external attackers. Implement Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block anomalous requests targeting WP-CRM functionalities that could be abused. Conduct thorough access reviews and harden user roles and permissions within the CRM to minimize potential damage if unauthorized access occurs. Monitor logs for unusual activity patterns indicative of exploitation attempts, such as unexpected API calls or unauthorized function usage. Organizations should also engage with the vendor or community to track patch releases and apply updates promptly once available. As a longer-term measure, consider isolating the WP-CRM System in segmented network zones and enforcing multi-factor authentication for administrative access to reduce risk from lateral movement or privilege escalation.
