CVE-2025-58938 identifies a missing authorization vulnerability in the ThemeAtelier IDonatePro plugin, specifically affecting versions up to 2.1.9. The vulnerability arises from incorrectly configured access control security levels, which fail to properly verify whether a user has the necessary permissions to perform certain actions. This misconfiguration can allow attackers to bypass authorization checks and execute unauthorized operations within the plugin's scope. IDonatePro is a WordPress plugin designed to facilitate donation management, often used by nonprofit organizations and fundraising websites. The lack of proper authorization checks means that an attacker could potentially manipulate donation data, access sensitive information, or perform administrative functions without legitimate credentials. Although no public exploits have been reported, the vulnerability is classified as published and recognized by Patchstack, indicating that it is known and may be targeted in the future. The absence of a CVSS score suggests that the vulnerability has not yet been fully assessed for severity, but the nature of missing authorization typically implies a critical security risk. The vulnerability affects all installations of IDonatePro up to version 2.1.9, with no specific version range exclusions noted. Since the plugin is web-facing and commonly integrated into WordPress sites, the attack surface is broad, especially for organizations relying on this plugin for donation processing. The vulnerability does not require user interaction or authentication, increasing the risk of exploitation. However, no patches or fixes have been linked at this time, emphasizing the need for vigilance and proactive security measures.

For European organizations, particularly nonprofits and fundraising platforms using the IDonatePro plugin, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to donation data, manipulation of financial transactions, or unauthorized administrative actions. Such breaches could result in financial losses, reputational damage, and regulatory non-compliance, especially under GDPR requirements for protecting personal and financial data. The unauthorized modification or disclosure of donor information could undermine trust and lead to legal consequences. Additionally, attackers exploiting this vulnerability might use compromised sites as footholds for further attacks within organizational networks. The impact is heightened in sectors where donation management is critical, including charities, religious organizations, and social enterprises. Given the plugin's integration with WordPress, a widely used CMS in Europe, the potential attack surface is significant. The lack of authentication requirements for exploitation increases the risk of automated or opportunistic attacks. Organizations may also face operational disruptions if the plugin is disabled or taken offline to mitigate risks.

European organizations should immediately inventory their WordPress installations to identify the presence of the IDonatePro plugin and verify the version in use. Until an official patch is released, organizations should consider temporarily disabling the plugin or restricting access to its administrative interfaces via IP whitelisting or VPN access. Review and harden access control configurations within the plugin and the broader WordPress environment to ensure least privilege principles are enforced. Implement web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block unauthorized access attempts targeting the plugin endpoints. Monitor logs for unusual activity related to donation processing or plugin usage. Engage with the vendor, ThemeAtelier, to obtain updates on patch availability and apply updates promptly once released. Conduct penetration testing focused on authorization controls in the donation management workflow. Educate site administrators about the risks and signs of exploitation. Finally, ensure regular backups of website data and configurations to enable rapid recovery if compromise occurs.
