CVE-2025-53587 is a high-severity Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability affecting the ApusTheme Findgo product, specifically versions up to 1.3.57. CSRF vulnerabilities occur when an attacker tricks an authenticated user into submitting a forged request to a web application, exploiting the user's active session and privileges without their consent. In this case, the vulnerability allows an attacker to perform unauthorized actions on behalf of the user by exploiting the lack of proper anti-CSRF protections in the Findgo theme. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8 reflects the critical nature of this vulnerability, with an attack vector of network (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), but requiring user interaction (UI:R). The impact is high on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, meaning an attacker could potentially manipulate or disrupt the affected web application, steal sensitive data, or cause denial of service. Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the vulnerability's characteristics make it a significant risk once weaponized. The absence of patch links suggests that a fix may not yet be publicly available, increasing the urgency for mitigation. The vulnerability is categorized under CWE-352, which is a well-known web security weakness related to insufficient request validation mechanisms to prevent forged requests.

For European organizations using the ApusTheme Findgo theme, this vulnerability poses a substantial risk. Many European businesses rely on WordPress themes like Findgo for their websites, including e-commerce, corporate, and service portals. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized changes in website content, manipulation of user accounts, or injection of malicious code, undermining trust and potentially violating GDPR requirements for data protection. The high impact on confidentiality and integrity means sensitive customer or business data could be compromised, leading to reputational damage and regulatory penalties. Additionally, availability impact could disrupt online services, affecting business continuity. Given the cross-site nature of the attack, users visiting compromised or malicious sites could inadvertently trigger harmful actions on legitimate European websites using the vulnerable theme, amplifying the threat landscape.

European organizations should immediately audit their web assets to identify any installations of ApusTheme Findgo, especially versions up to 1.3.57. Until a patch is released, implement strict Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the domains that can execute scripts or send requests on behalf of the site. Employ anti-CSRF tokens in all state-changing requests if customization of the theme is possible. Additionally, enforce SameSite cookie attributes (preferably 'Strict' or 'Lax') to limit cookie transmission in cross-site contexts. Monitor web server logs for unusual POST requests or suspicious referrers that could indicate exploitation attempts. Educate users and administrators about the risks of interacting with untrusted websites while logged into critical systems. Finally, maintain close communication with ApusTheme developers or security advisories for timely patch releases and apply updates promptly once available.
