CVE-2025-57916 is a vulnerability classified under CWE-497, which pertains to the exposure of sensitive system information to an unauthorized control sphere. This specific vulnerability affects the Nurul Amin WP System Information plugin, versions up to 1.5. The vulnerability allows an attacker with at least low-level privileges (PR:L) but no user interaction (UI:N) to remotely retrieve embedded sensitive data from the system via network access (AV:N). The vulnerability does not impact system integrity or availability but compromises confidentiality by leaking sensitive system information that should otherwise be restricted. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 4.3, indicating a medium severity level. The vulnerability is exploitable remotely without user interaction but requires some level of privilege, which suggests that an attacker must have some authenticated access or compromised credentials to exploit it. No known exploits are currently in the wild, and no patches have been linked yet. The exposure of sensitive system information can aid attackers in further reconnaissance, enabling them to craft more targeted attacks or escalate privileges within the affected environment. The vulnerability is present in a WordPress plugin, which is commonly used in web environments, making it relevant to websites and applications running WordPress with this plugin installed.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a risk primarily to websites and web applications using the Nurul Amin WP System Information plugin. The exposure of sensitive system information can facilitate attackers in mapping the internal environment, identifying software versions, configurations, or other embedded data that could be leveraged for further attacks such as privilege escalation or lateral movement. While the direct impact on confidentiality is limited to information disclosure, the indirect impact can be significant if attackers use the leaked data to compromise critical systems or data. Organizations in sectors with high regulatory requirements for data protection, such as finance, healthcare, and government, may face compliance risks if sensitive information is exposed. Additionally, the vulnerability could undermine trust in digital services and lead to reputational damage. Since exploitation requires some level of privilege, the risk is elevated in environments where user credentials or access controls are weak or where insider threats exist. The lack of known exploits in the wild currently reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the potential for future exploitation.

European organizations should take the following specific mitigation steps: 1) Immediately audit all WordPress installations to identify the presence of the Nurul Amin WP System Information plugin and determine the version in use. 2) Restrict access to the plugin's functionality by enforcing strict access controls and limiting privileges to only trusted administrators. 3) Monitor logs for unusual access patterns or attempts to retrieve system information via the plugin interfaces. 4) Implement network segmentation and web application firewalls (WAFs) to limit exposure of WordPress management endpoints to trusted networks or IP addresses. 5) Since no patch is currently available, consider disabling or uninstalling the plugin if it is not essential to reduce the attack surface. 6) Educate administrators on the importance of strong authentication mechanisms and regularly review user privileges to prevent unauthorized access. 7) Stay updated with vendor advisories and apply patches promptly once released. 8) Conduct penetration testing focused on information disclosure vectors to identify and remediate similar issues proactively.
