CVE-2025-58592 is a deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability affecting Cozmoslabs TranslatePress, a popular WordPress plugin used for multilingual website translation. The vulnerability exists in versions up to and including 2.10.2 and allows an attacker to perform object injection by sending crafted serialized data to the plugin. Deserialization vulnerabilities occur when untrusted input is deserialized without proper validation or sanitization, enabling attackers to instantiate arbitrary objects or manipulate application state. This can lead to remote code execution, privilege escalation, or data tampering. The CVSS 3.1 score of 8.1 reflects a network attack vector with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, though it requires high attack complexity and no privileges or user interaction. The vulnerability is publicly disclosed but currently has no known exploits in the wild. TranslatePress is widely used in WordPress environments, often on sites requiring multilingual support, including commercial and governmental portals. The lack of patches at the time of disclosure necessitates immediate attention to mitigate risk. The vulnerability's exploitation could allow attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code, modify site content, or disrupt service, severely impacting affected organizations.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk especially to those relying on WordPress sites with TranslatePress for multilingual content delivery. Successful exploitation can lead to full compromise of the web server hosting the plugin, exposing sensitive data, defacing websites, or causing denial of service. This is particularly critical for e-commerce platforms, government portals, and enterprises with customer-facing multilingual sites. The breach of confidentiality could expose personal data protected under GDPR, leading to regulatory penalties and reputational damage. Integrity loss could undermine trust in official communications or transactional data. Availability impact could disrupt business operations and customer access. Given the plugin's popularity, the attack surface is broad, and the remote, unauthenticated nature of the vulnerability increases the likelihood of exploitation attempts targeting European entities.

1. Immediately upgrade TranslatePress to a version later than 2.10.2 once the vendor releases a patch addressing CVE-2025-58592. 2. Until a patch is available, restrict access to the plugin's endpoints by implementing web application firewall (WAF) rules that block suspicious serialized data or unusual POST requests. 3. Employ input validation and sanitization at the web server or application firewall level to detect and block serialized object payloads. 4. Monitor web server logs for anomalous requests containing serialized data or unusual parameters indicative of exploitation attempts. 5. Limit the privileges of the web server user to minimize impact in case of successful exploitation. 6. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability scans focusing on WordPress plugins. 7. Educate site administrators on the risks of deserialization vulnerabilities and the importance of timely updates. 8. Consider isolating critical WordPress instances or using containerization to reduce lateral movement if compromised.
