CVE-2025-58252 is a medium-severity vulnerability identified in the jetmonsters Getwid plugin, specifically involving CWE-201: Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data. This vulnerability allows an attacker with at least low-level privileges (PR:L) and network access (AV:N) to retrieve embedded sensitive data that is unintentionally included in data sent by the plugin. The vulnerability does not require user interaction (UI:N) and affects all versions of Getwid up to 2.1.2. The issue arises because sensitive information is inserted into data transmissions, which can then be intercepted or accessed by unauthorized parties. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 4.3, reflecting a limited confidentiality impact without affecting integrity or availability. The vulnerability scope is unchanged (S:U), meaning the impact is confined to the vulnerable component without affecting other system components. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches have been linked yet, indicating that mitigation may require vendor updates or configuration changes once available. The vulnerability is significant in environments where sensitive data confidentiality is critical, especially in web applications using the Getwid plugin for WordPress or similar CMS platforms.

For European organizations, the primary impact of CVE-2025-58252 is the potential unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information embedded in data sent by the Getwid plugin. This could lead to data leakage incidents compromising personal data, intellectual property, or other confidential information, potentially violating GDPR and other data protection regulations. Although the vulnerability does not allow modification or disruption of data (no integrity or availability impact), the confidentiality breach alone can result in regulatory fines, reputational damage, and loss of customer trust. Organizations using Getwid in customer-facing or internal portals may be at risk, especially if the sensitive data includes personal identifiable information (PII) or business-critical details. The requirement for low privileges means that an attacker might exploit this vulnerability from a compromised user account or through lateral movement within a network, increasing the risk in environments with weak access controls. Since no user interaction is needed, automated attacks or scanning could be feasible once exploit techniques become available.

To mitigate CVE-2025-58252, European organizations should first inventory their use of the Getwid plugin and identify affected versions (up to 2.1.2). Until an official patch is released, organizations should consider the following specific actions: 1) Restrict access to the affected plugin functionality by enforcing strict role-based access controls to limit exposure to low-privilege users; 2) Monitor network traffic for unusual data transmissions that might contain sensitive information, using data loss prevention (DLP) tools; 3) Disable or remove the Getwid plugin if it is not essential or replace it with alternative plugins that do not exhibit this vulnerability; 4) Implement web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block attempts to exploit this vulnerability; 5) Educate administrators and developers about the risk of embedding sensitive data in transmitted content and review plugin configurations to minimize sensitive data exposure; 6) Stay alert for vendor updates or patches and apply them promptly once available. Additionally, conduct regular security assessments and penetration tests focusing on data leakage risks related to CMS plugins.
