The vulnerability identified as CVE-2025-58939 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) issue in the highwarden Super Store Finder WordPress plugin, affecting versions up to and including 7.5. CSRF vulnerabilities occur when an attacker tricks an authenticated user into submitting a malicious request to a web application without their consent, exploiting the user's active session. In this case, the Super Store Finder plugin does not adequately validate the origin or authenticity of requests, allowing attackers to craft malicious links or web pages that, when visited by an authenticated user, can trigger unintended actions such as modifying plugin settings or data. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3 reflects a medium severity level, with the vector indicating network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), but requiring user interaction (UI:R). The impact is limited to availability (A:L), with no confidentiality (C:N) or integrity (I:N) impact. This means the vulnerability could cause denial of service or disruption but not data leakage or unauthorized data modification. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no official patches or updates have been linked yet, though the vulnerability was published on October 29, 2025. The plugin is commonly used in WordPress environments to provide store locator functionality, often in retail or e-commerce websites. The lack of anti-CSRF protections in the plugin's request handling is the root cause. Attackers could leverage social engineering to induce users with administrative or privileged access to perform actions unknowingly, potentially disrupting service availability or plugin functionality.

For European organizations, particularly those operating e-commerce platforms or retail websites using the Super Store Finder plugin, this vulnerability poses a risk of service disruption or unauthorized changes to plugin configurations. Although the impact on confidentiality and integrity is negligible, availability could be affected if attackers successfully exploit the CSRF flaw to alter settings or disable functionality, leading to degraded user experience or operational downtime. This could result in loss of customer trust, reduced sales, and potential reputational damage. Since the attack requires user interaction but no authentication, phishing or social engineering campaigns could be used to target site administrators or users with sufficient privileges. The medium severity rating suggests the threat is moderate but should not be ignored, especially in environments where uptime and service reliability are critical. Organizations with stringent regulatory requirements around service availability and operational continuity, such as financial or healthcare sectors, may face compliance risks if disruptions occur. The absence of known exploits reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the potential for future attacks.

To mitigate this vulnerability, European organizations should first verify if they are using the Super Store Finder plugin version 7.5 or earlier and plan to update to a patched version as soon as it becomes available. In the absence of an official patch, administrators should implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block suspicious CSRF attempts targeting the plugin's endpoints. Enforcing strict Content Security Policy (CSP) headers can help reduce the risk of malicious cross-origin requests. Additionally, site administrators should ensure that all users with privileged access are trained to recognize phishing and social engineering attempts that could lead to CSRF exploitation. Implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA) can reduce the risk of unauthorized access if credentials are compromised. Reviewing and minimizing the number of users with administrative privileges can limit the attack surface. For custom deployments, developers should add anti-CSRF tokens to all state-changing requests within the plugin. Regular security audits and monitoring for unusual activity related to the plugin can help detect exploitation attempts early. Finally, maintaining up-to-date backups will facilitate recovery in case of service disruption.
