CVE-2025-54711 identifies a missing authorization vulnerability in the bPlugins Info Cards plugin, versions up to and including 1.0.11. The vulnerability arises because certain functionalities within the plugin are not properly constrained by Access Control Lists (ACLs), allowing users with low privileges (PR:L) to access features that should be restricted. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N) indicates that the vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network without user interaction, requires low privileges, and affects confidentiality significantly, with some impact on integrity but no impact on availability. The plugin is commonly used in WordPress environments to display informational cards, which may contain sensitive or business-critical information. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data, potentially exposing business or user information. Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the ease of exploitation and the high confidentiality impact make this a serious concern. The lack of a patch link suggests that a fix may not yet be publicly available, emphasizing the need for immediate mitigation steps. The vulnerability was reserved in July 2025 and published in November 2025, indicating recent discovery and disclosure. Organizations relying on this plugin should prioritize assessment and remediation to prevent unauthorized access.

For European organizations, the primary impact of CVE-2025-54711 is unauthorized access to sensitive information managed or displayed by the bPlugins Info Cards plugin. This can lead to data breaches involving confidential business or personal data, potentially violating GDPR and other data protection regulations, resulting in legal and financial consequences. The integrity impact is limited but could allow attackers to manipulate displayed information, undermining trust and operational accuracy. Since the vulnerability does not affect availability, denial-of-service is not a concern. The ease of remote exploitation without user interaction increases the risk of automated or targeted attacks. Organizations in sectors such as finance, healthcare, government, and e-commerce that use WordPress and this plugin are particularly vulnerable. The exposure of sensitive data could also facilitate further attacks, including social engineering or lateral movement within networks. The reputational damage and compliance risks are significant for European entities, especially those with strict data governance requirements.

1. Immediately inventory all WordPress installations to identify the presence of the bPlugins Info Cards plugin and its version. 2. Monitor official bPlugins channels and security advisories for the release of patches addressing CVE-2025-54711 and apply them promptly once available. 3. Until patches are available, restrict access to the plugin’s functionalities by implementing additional access controls at the web server or application firewall level, limiting access to trusted users only. 4. Conduct a thorough review of ACL configurations within WordPress and the plugin to ensure that only authorized roles have access to sensitive features. 5. Implement enhanced logging and monitoring for unusual access patterns or privilege escalations related to the Info Cards plugin. 6. Consider temporarily disabling or removing the plugin if it is not critical to operations to eliminate exposure. 7. Educate administrators and developers about the risks of missing authorization vulnerabilities and enforce secure coding and configuration practices. 8. Use Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block attempts to exploit this vulnerability. 9. Regularly update all WordPress plugins and core installations to minimize exposure to known vulnerabilities.
