CVE-2025-60070: Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') in The4 Molla
Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') vulnerability in The4 Molla molla allows Code Injection.This issue affects Molla: from n/a through <= 1.5.13.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-60070 is a vulnerability classified as 'Improper Control of Generation of Code' or code injection in The4 Molla WordPress theme, versions up to and including 1.5.13. This vulnerability arises because the theme improperly handles user-supplied input or other data that is used in code generation processes, allowing an attacker to inject malicious code that the application subsequently executes. Code injection vulnerabilities are particularly dangerous as they can lead to remote code execution (RCE), enabling attackers to take full control over the affected system, steal sensitive data, modify content, or disrupt services. The4 Molla is a popular WordPress theme used primarily for e-commerce and business websites, which often handle sensitive customer and transactional data. Although no public exploits have been reported yet, the vulnerability's nature suggests that exploitation could be straightforward if an attacker can identify vulnerable endpoints or input vectors. The lack of a CVSS score indicates that the vulnerability is newly published and not yet fully assessed, but the potential impact is significant. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 1.5.13, with no patch links currently available, implying that users should be vigilant for forthcoming updates. The vulnerability was reserved in September 2025 and published in December 2025, indicating recent discovery. Attackers exploiting this flaw could execute arbitrary code remotely without authentication or user interaction, posing a severe threat to affected websites.
Potential Impact
For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-60070 can be severe. Organizations using the Molla theme for their WordPress sites, especially e-commerce platforms, risk unauthorized access, data breaches, defacement, or complete site takeover. Confidential customer data, including payment information, could be exposed, leading to regulatory non-compliance under GDPR and significant reputational damage. Integrity of website content and transactional data could be compromised, affecting business operations and customer trust. Availability could also be impacted if attackers deploy ransomware or disrupt services. The threat is particularly critical for sectors relying heavily on online presence such as retail, finance, and hospitality. Given the widespread use of WordPress themes in Europe and the popularity of Molla in business contexts, the vulnerability could affect a broad range of organizations. The absence of known exploits currently provides a window for proactive mitigation, but the ease of exploitation and potential for remote code execution heighten the risk of rapid exploitation once public proof-of-concept code or automated tools emerge.
Mitigation Recommendations
1. Monitor official channels from The4 for security patches and apply updates immediately once available. 2. In the absence of patches, implement strict input validation and sanitization on all user inputs and data processed by the theme to prevent injection of malicious code. 3. Deploy a Web Application Firewall (WAF) configured to detect and block code injection attempts targeting WordPress themes. 4. Restrict administrative access and limit permissions to reduce the attack surface. 5. Conduct thorough security audits and code reviews of the theme customization and integration points. 6. Regularly back up website data and configurations to enable rapid recovery in case of compromise. 7. Monitor web server and application logs for suspicious activities indicative of exploitation attempts. 8. Educate site administrators about the risks and signs of code injection attacks. 9. Consider temporary disabling or replacing the Molla theme with a secure alternative if immediate patching is not feasible. 10. Employ security plugins that can detect anomalous behavior or unauthorized code execution within WordPress environments.
