CVE-2025-62006 is a Missing Authorization vulnerability found in the VeronaLabs WP SMS WordPress plugin, affecting all versions up to and including 7.0.1. The flaw arises because the plugin fails to properly enforce authorization checks on certain actions, allowing an attacker with low-level privileges (such as a subscriber or contributor role) to perform operations they should not be permitted to execute. The vulnerability is exploitable remotely over the network without requiring user interaction, increasing its risk profile. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.4, indicating a medium severity level, with an attack vector of network (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), requiring privileges (PR:L), no user interaction (UI:N), unchanged scope (S:U), and limited impact on confidentiality and integrity (C:L/I:L) but no impact on availability (A:N). While no public exploits have been reported yet, the vulnerability could be leveraged to manipulate SMS messaging functionality, potentially leading to unauthorized message sending or data leakage. The absence of a patch link suggests that a fix may not yet be publicly available, so organizations should monitor vendor advisories closely. This vulnerability is particularly relevant for WordPress sites that rely on WP SMS for communication or notification purposes, as exploitation could undermine trust and confidentiality of messaging operations.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-62006 could include unauthorized access to SMS messaging features, potentially allowing attackers to send fraudulent messages, intercept sensitive information, or manipulate communication workflows. This could lead to reputational damage, regulatory non-compliance (especially under GDPR if personal data is exposed), and operational disruptions in communication-dependent services. Since the vulnerability requires only low privileges, insider threats or compromised low-level accounts could be leveraged to exploit it. The lack of availability impact means service outages are unlikely, but confidentiality and integrity breaches could still have significant consequences, particularly for sectors relying on SMS for authentication or alerts, such as finance, healthcare, and government services. European organizations using WP SMS should consider the risk of unauthorized message manipulation and data exposure, which could facilitate phishing, social engineering, or fraud campaigns.

To mitigate CVE-2025-62006, European organizations should: 1) Immediately review and restrict user roles and permissions within WordPress to minimize low-privilege accounts that could exploit the vulnerability. 2) Monitor logs and SMS messaging activity for unusual or unauthorized actions indicative of exploitation attempts. 3) Apply any vendor patches or updates as soon as they become available; if no patch exists, consider temporarily disabling the WP SMS plugin or replacing it with an alternative SMS solution with proper authorization controls. 4) Implement web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block suspicious requests targeting WP SMS endpoints. 5) Conduct internal audits of SMS-related workflows to identify and remediate potential abuse scenarios. 6) Educate administrators and users about the risks of low-privilege account compromise and enforce strong authentication mechanisms. 7) Engage with VeronaLabs support channels to obtain timely information on patch releases and vulnerability remediation guidance.
