CVE-2025-54711 is a missing authorization vulnerability identified in the bPlugins Info Cards plugin, which is used to display informational cards within web applications, commonly in WordPress environments. The vulnerability arises because certain functionalities within the plugin are not properly constrained by Access Control Lists (ACLs), allowing users with limited privileges (low privilege requirement) to access features or data that should be restricted. The CVSS 3.1 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 with low attack complexity, requires low privileges, and no user interaction. The impact primarily affects confidentiality, allowing unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, with limited impact on integrity and no impact on availability. The affected versions include all versions up to and including 1.0.11, though exact version details are not fully specified. No patches or known exploits are currently documented, but the vulnerability is published and should be considered a significant risk. The root cause is insufficient enforcement of authorization checks, which is a common security oversight in plugin development. Attackers exploiting this flaw could gain access to sensitive data or functionality that should be restricted, potentially leading to data breaches or further exploitation within the affected environment.

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 could lead to data leakage of confidential business or user data, undermining privacy and compliance with regulations such as GDPR. Although the vulnerability does not directly affect system integrity or availability, the exposure of sensitive information can facilitate further attacks, including social engineering or privilege escalation. Organizations relying on WordPress sites with this plugin, especially those handling personal or sensitive data, face reputational damage and potential regulatory penalties if exploited. The ease of exploitation and remote attack vector increase the risk profile, particularly for organizations with less stringent access control policies or insufficient monitoring. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the threat, emphasizing the need for proactive mitigation.

1. Monitor bPlugins official channels for patches addressing CVE-2025-54711 and apply them promptly once released. 2. Conduct a thorough audit of ACLs and authorization mechanisms within the Info Cards plugin configuration to ensure proper restrictions are enforced. 3. Restrict plugin access to only trusted users and roles, minimizing the number of accounts with privileges that could exploit this vulnerability. 4. Implement web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious access patterns related to Info Cards functionality. 5. Enable detailed logging and monitoring of plugin-related activities to detect unauthorized access attempts early. 6. Consider temporarily disabling or removing the Info Cards plugin if patching is delayed and the risk is deemed unacceptable. 7. Educate administrators and developers about the risks of missing authorization checks and encourage secure coding and configuration practices. 8. Review overall WordPress security posture, including timely updates of all plugins and core components, to reduce attack surface.
