The vulnerability identified as CVE-2025-60075 affects the Allegro Marketing hpb seo plugin for WordPress, specifically versions up to and including 3.0.1. It is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability that also enables reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. CSRF vulnerabilities allow attackers to trick authenticated users into submitting unwanted requests to a web application, potentially causing unauthorized actions such as changing settings or injecting malicious scripts. In this case, the CSRF flaw can be exploited to trigger reflected XSS, where malicious scripts are reflected off the vulnerable web application and executed in the victim's browser. This combination increases the attack surface, enabling attackers to hijack user sessions, steal cookies, or perform actions with the victim's privileges. The vulnerability does not require prior authentication bypass but depends on the victim being logged into the WordPress site with the vulnerable plugin installed. The plugin is used to enhance SEO functionality, so affected sites are likely to be content-driven or marketing-focused. No patches or fixes are currently linked, and no known exploits have been reported in the wild, but the vulnerability is publicly disclosed and thus could be targeted by attackers. The absence of a CVSS score necessitates an independent severity assessment based on the potential impact and exploitability.

For European organizations, the impact of this vulnerability can be significant, especially for businesses relying on WordPress sites with the Allegro Marketing hpb seo plugin for marketing, e-commerce, or content delivery. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized changes to website content or SEO settings, defacement, or injection of malicious scripts that compromise user data or site visitors. This can damage brand reputation, lead to data breaches, and cause regulatory compliance issues under GDPR if personal data is exposed. The reflected XSS component can facilitate session hijacking or phishing attacks targeting site administrators or users. Given the widespread use of WordPress across Europe, organizations with insufficient patch management or security controls are at risk. The lack of known exploits currently reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the threat, as public disclosure often leads to rapid development of exploit code. The vulnerability could also be leveraged as part of multi-stage attacks targeting European digital infrastructure or marketing platforms.

European organizations should immediately audit their WordPress installations to identify the presence of the Allegro Marketing hpb seo plugin and its version. If the plugin is present and version 3.0.1 or earlier is used, organizations should disable or remove the plugin until a security patch is available. In the absence of an official patch, applying Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block CSRF and reflected XSS attack patterns can reduce risk. Implementing strict Content Security Policy (CSP) headers can mitigate the impact of reflected XSS by restricting script execution. Additionally, enforcing multi-factor authentication (MFA) for WordPress admin accounts reduces the risk of session hijacking. Regularly monitoring website logs for unusual requests or changes can help detect exploitation attempts early. Organizations should also educate administrators about the risks of clicking unknown links while logged into WordPress dashboards. Finally, subscribing to security advisories from WordPress and plugin vendors will ensure timely awareness of patches or updates.
