CVE-2025-54710 is a high-severity vulnerability classified under CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) affecting the bPlugins Tiktok Feed plugin, versions up to 1.0.21. This vulnerability arises due to insufficient access control mechanisms, allowing users with limited privileges (requiring low privileges but no user interaction) to access or invoke functionality that should be restricted by Access Control Lists (ACLs). The vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network without user interaction, as indicated by the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N). Although it does not impact confidentiality, it compromises integrity and availability, potentially allowing an attacker to alter plugin behavior or disrupt service. The lack of proper authorization checks means that authenticated users with minimal privileges can escalate their capabilities within the plugin, possibly leading to unauthorized modifications or denial of service conditions. No patches or known exploits are currently reported, but the vulnerability's presence in a widely used WordPress plugin component that integrates TikTok feeds poses a significant risk, especially for websites relying on this plugin for social media content integration.

For European organizations, the impact of this vulnerability can be substantial, particularly for businesses and media companies that embed TikTok content via the bPlugins Tiktok Feed plugin on their WordPress sites. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized modifications of the feed content or disruption of the feed functionality, undermining website integrity and availability. This could damage brand reputation, reduce user trust, and potentially cause operational downtime. Given the plugin’s role in content delivery, attackers might manipulate displayed content or cause denial of service, affecting user experience and engagement. In regulated sectors such as finance, healthcare, or public services, such disruptions could also have compliance implications if service availability or data integrity is compromised. The vulnerability’s exploitation does not expose confidential data directly but threatens the integrity and availability of web content, which can have cascading effects on business operations and customer trust.

Organizations should immediately audit their WordPress installations to identify the presence of the bPlugins Tiktok Feed plugin and verify its version. Until an official patch is released, it is advisable to restrict access to the plugin’s administrative and functional endpoints to trusted users only, employing web application firewalls (WAFs) to monitor and block suspicious requests targeting the plugin. Implementing strict role-based access controls within WordPress to limit user privileges can reduce the risk of exploitation. Additionally, organizations should monitor logs for unusual activity related to the plugin and consider temporarily disabling the plugin if it is not critical to operations. Regularly checking for updates from bPlugins and applying patches promptly once available is essential. For high-risk environments, consider isolating the WordPress instance or employing security plugins that enforce granular access controls and detect unauthorized changes.
