CVE-2025-6059: CWE-352 Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in seraphinitesoft Seraphinite Accelerator
The Seraphinite Accelerator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 2.27.21. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the 'OnAdminApi_CacheOpBegin' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to perform several administrative actions, including deleting the cache, via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-6059 is a CSRF vulnerability in the Seraphinite Accelerator WordPress plugin affecting all versions up to 2.27.21. The issue arises from missing or incorrect nonce validation in the 'OnAdminApi_CacheOpBegin' function, enabling attackers to perform administrative actions without authentication by exploiting the trust of a logged-in administrator. This vulnerability can lead to limited impact actions such as cache deletion. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.3 (medium severity), reflecting the ease of attack (network vector, no privileges required, user interaction required) and limited impact (no confidentiality or availability impact, low integrity impact).
Potential Impact
An attacker can cause an authenticated administrator to unknowingly execute administrative actions like cache deletion via a forged request. While this does not compromise confidentiality or availability, it can disrupt normal administrative operations and potentially affect site performance or behavior due to cache manipulation.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, administrators should be cautious about clicking on untrusted links while logged into WordPress with administrative privileges. Monitoring for updates from SeraphiniteSoft regarding a security patch is recommended.
