CVE-2025-58918 identifies a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the Waituk Entrada WordPress theme, versions up to 5.7.7. CSRF vulnerabilities occur when a web application does not properly verify that requests originate from authenticated users, allowing attackers to craft malicious web pages or links that cause users’ browsers to perform unintended actions on the vulnerable site. In this case, the Entrada theme lacks adequate CSRF protections, such as anti-CSRF tokens or proper request validation, enabling attackers to induce authenticated users to execute state-changing operations without their consent. The vulnerability does not impact confidentiality or availability but can lead to integrity issues by allowing unauthorized changes to site settings or content. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N) indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, unchanged scope, no confidentiality or availability impact, and limited integrity impact. No known exploits have been reported, and no patches are currently available, increasing the urgency for proactive mitigation. The vulnerability was published on October 27, 2025, with the initial reservation on September 6, 2025, by Patchstack. The affected product, Waituk Entrada, is a WordPress theme commonly used for business and portfolio websites, which may expose administrative or user-facing functions to CSRF attacks if unmitigated.

For European organizations, the CSRF vulnerability in the Entrada theme could allow attackers to perform unauthorized actions on websites where users are authenticated, such as changing site configurations, modifying content, or triggering administrative functions. While the impact on confidentiality and availability is negligible, integrity risks could lead to defacement, misinformation, or unauthorized content changes, potentially damaging reputation and user trust. Organizations relying on Entrada for customer-facing or internal portals may face operational disruptions or compliance issues if unauthorized changes occur. The requirement for user interaction limits large-scale automated exploitation but does not eliminate targeted phishing or social engineering risks. Given the widespread use of WordPress across Europe, especially in small and medium enterprises, the vulnerability could affect a broad range of sectors including e-commerce, professional services, and public institutions. Lack of patches increases exposure duration, emphasizing the need for immediate mitigations to reduce attack surface and prevent exploitation.

1. Immediately implement CSRF protection mechanisms such as synchronizer tokens or double-submit cookies in the Entrada theme or via WordPress security plugins that enforce CSRF defenses. 2. Restrict sensitive actions to POST requests and validate the HTTP Referer header to ensure requests originate from trusted sources. 3. Limit user privileges and enforce the principle of least privilege to reduce the impact of any successful CSRF attack. 4. Educate users and administrators about phishing and social engineering tactics that could be used to trigger CSRF attacks, emphasizing caution with unsolicited links. 5. Monitor web server logs and application behavior for unusual or unauthorized state-changing requests. 6. Regularly update WordPress core, plugins, and themes, and subscribe to vendor or security mailing lists for timely patch releases. 7. Consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules designed to detect and block CSRF attack patterns. 8. If possible, temporarily disable or restrict features in Entrada that perform sensitive state changes until a patch is available.
