CVE-2025-57894 is a security vulnerability classified under CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) affecting the ollybach WPPizza plugin, specifically versions up to 3.19.8. This vulnerability arises due to incorrectly configured access control security levels, allowing an attacker with some level of privileges (PR:L - low privileges) to perform unauthorized actions that should be restricted. The vulnerability does not require user interaction (UI:N) and can be exploited remotely over the network (AV:N). The impact primarily affects the integrity of the system, as unauthorized modifications or actions can be performed, but confidentiality and availability are not directly impacted. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3, indicating a medium severity level. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches have been linked yet. The vulnerability is significant because WPPizza is a WordPress plugin used for online ordering and pizza delivery management, which often handles order data and customer information. Missing authorization can allow attackers to manipulate orders, change configurations, or perform other unauthorized actions that could disrupt business operations or lead to fraudulent activities.

For European organizations using the WPPizza plugin, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized manipulation of order data, potentially causing financial losses, reputational damage, and operational disruptions. Attackers could alter orders, inject fraudulent orders, or modify settings without proper authorization, undermining trust in the service. Although the vulnerability does not directly compromise confidentiality or availability, the integrity breach could affect customer satisfaction and lead to legal or compliance issues, especially under GDPR regulations if customer data is indirectly affected. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the food delivery sector, which often rely on WordPress plugins like WPPizza, are particularly at risk. The lack of known exploits in the wild currently reduces immediate risk, but the medium severity and ease of exploitation (low privileges required, no user interaction) mean that attackers could develop exploits if the vulnerability remains unpatched.

European organizations should immediately audit their WordPress installations to identify if WPPizza is installed and determine the version in use. Since no official patch links are available yet, organizations should consider the following specific mitigations: 1) Restrict access to the WordPress admin and WPPizza management interfaces using IP whitelisting or VPN access to limit exposure. 2) Implement strict role-based access controls within WordPress to ensure only trusted users have privileges that could be exploited. 3) Monitor logs for unusual activity related to order management or plugin configuration changes. 4) Temporarily disable or deactivate the WPPizza plugin if it is not critical to operations until a patch is released. 5) Engage with the plugin vendor or community to track patch releases and apply updates promptly. 6) Consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious requests targeting WPPizza endpoints. These steps go beyond generic advice by focusing on access control hardening and proactive monitoring tailored to this vulnerability.
