CVE-2025-60075 identifies a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the Allegro Marketing hpb seo plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 3.0.1. The vulnerability enables attackers to trick authenticated users into executing unwanted actions without their consent by exploiting the lack of proper CSRF protections in the plugin's request handling. This can lead to reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks, where malicious scripts are injected and executed in the context of the victim's browser, potentially compromising session tokens, user data, or site integrity. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 reflects a high severity due to the network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, but requiring user interaction. The scope is changed, indicating that exploitation can affect components beyond the vulnerable plugin itself. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability by allowing unauthorized actions and script execution. No patches or exploits are currently publicly available, but the vulnerability is published and should be addressed promptly. Given the plugin's role in SEO management, attackers could manipulate SEO settings or inject malicious content, affecting site reputation and search rankings. The vulnerability is particularly relevant for WordPress sites that rely on this plugin for SEO optimization, which are common in many European organizations.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to websites running WordPress with the Allegro Marketing hpb seo plugin. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized changes in SEO configurations, defacement, or injection of malicious scripts that compromise user data or site visitors. This can damage brand reputation, lead to data breaches, and cause downtime or degraded service availability. Given the importance of online presence and e-commerce in Europe, such disruptions can have financial and operational consequences. Additionally, the reflected XSS component could be leveraged to steal session cookies or perform phishing attacks targeting European users. The vulnerability's ease of exploitation without authentication but requiring user interaction increases risk in environments with high web traffic. Organizations in sectors such as retail, media, and professional services that depend on WordPress for their websites are particularly vulnerable. The absence of known exploits currently provides a window for proactive mitigation before widespread attacks occur.

Organizations should immediately inventory their WordPress installations to identify the presence of the Allegro Marketing hpb seo plugin and its version. Until an official patch is released, apply manual mitigations such as implementing Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block CSRF attack patterns targeting the plugin's endpoints. Enforce strict Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to mitigate reflected XSS impact. Limit user privileges on WordPress to the minimum necessary to reduce the potential damage from CSRF exploitation. Educate users about the risks of clicking on suspicious links to reduce successful user interaction exploitation. Monitor web server and application logs for unusual POST requests or parameter tampering indicative of CSRF attempts. Once a patch is available, prioritize immediate update of the plugin. Additionally, consider disabling or replacing the plugin if it is not critical to operations. Regularly back up WordPress sites and test restoration procedures to minimize downtime in case of compromise.
