CVE-2025-58956 is a high-severity vulnerability classified as CWE-352, indicating a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) issue in the loopus WP Attractive Donations System, a WordPress plugin designed to facilitate donation management. The vulnerability allows an attacker to perform unauthorized actions on behalf of an authenticated user by exploiting the lack of proper CSRF protections. Specifically, this CSRF flaw enables Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), where malicious scripts injected by the attacker are persistently stored and executed in the context of the victim's browser. The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.1 reflects a network-exploitable vulnerability with low attack complexity, no privileges required, but requiring user interaction. The scope is changed, indicating that the vulnerability affects components beyond the initially vulnerable module, impacting confidentiality, integrity, and availability to a limited extent. The vulnerability does not have specified affected versions, suggesting it may impact all current versions of the plugin. No patches or known exploits in the wild have been reported yet. The vulnerability's exploitation could allow attackers to hijack user sessions, manipulate donation data, or perform unauthorized transactions, potentially leading to financial fraud or reputational damage for organizations using this plugin.

For European organizations using the WP Attractive Donations System plugin, this vulnerability poses significant risks. Non-profit organizations, charities, and any entities relying on this plugin for donation processing could face unauthorized manipulation of donation records, fraudulent transactions, or defacement through stored XSS payloads. The CSRF aspect means attackers can trick authenticated users into executing unwanted actions, potentially leading to data leakage or unauthorized changes without the users' knowledge. Stored XSS can further escalate the impact by enabling session hijacking, credential theft, or distribution of malware to site visitors. Given the plugin's integration with WordPress, a widely used CMS in Europe, the attack surface is considerable. The reputational damage and potential financial losses could be substantial, especially for organizations handling sensitive donor information or large volumes of donations. Additionally, compliance with GDPR requires organizations to protect personal data, and exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to data breaches triggering regulatory penalties.

To mitigate this vulnerability, European organizations should immediately audit their WordPress installations for the presence of the WP Attractive Donations System plugin and assess exposure. Since no patches are currently available, organizations should consider temporarily disabling or uninstalling the plugin until a secure update is released. Implementing Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block CSRF and XSS attack patterns can provide interim protection. Enforcing strict Content Security Policy (CSP) headers can help mitigate the impact of stored XSS by restricting script execution sources. Organizations should also educate users about the risks of clicking on suspicious links that could trigger CSRF attacks. Monitoring logs for unusual activities related to donation transactions or user sessions is critical for early detection. Once a patch is released, prompt application of updates is essential. Additionally, developers should be encouraged to implement anti-CSRF tokens and input sanitization to prevent such vulnerabilities in future plugin versions.
