CVE-2025-62061 identifies a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the impleCode Product Catalog Simple plugin, specifically affecting versions up to 1.8.4. CSRF vulnerabilities allow attackers to induce authenticated users to perform unintended actions on web applications where they have privileges. In this case, the vulnerability resides in the post-type-x functionality of the plugin, which is commonly used to manage product catalogs in WordPress environments. The attacker can craft malicious web requests that, when visited by an authenticated user, cause unauthorized actions such as modifying product data or settings without the user's knowledge. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) indicates that the attack can be performed remotely over the network with low attack complexity, requires no privileges, but does require user interaction (e.g., clicking a link). The impact is limited to confidentiality, potentially exposing some data through unauthorized requests, but does not affect integrity or availability. No patches or official fixes have been released yet, and no known exploits are currently active in the wild. The vulnerability highlights a lack of proper anti-CSRF protections such as tokens or origin validation in the affected plugin versions.

For European organizations, especially those relying on WordPress-based e-commerce or product catalog management, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized disclosure of product-related information or unauthorized changes initiated via CSRF attacks. While the direct impact on integrity and availability is minimal, the confidentiality breach could expose sensitive business data or customer information. Attackers could exploit this vulnerability to manipulate product listings, pricing, or inventory data indirectly by leveraging authenticated users' sessions, potentially causing reputational damage or financial loss. Given the widespread use of WordPress and related plugins in Europe, organizations that have not updated or mitigated this vulnerability may be at risk. The absence of known exploits reduces immediate threat but does not eliminate the risk of future attacks once exploit code becomes available.

Organizations should immediately audit their use of the impleCode Product Catalog Simple plugin and upgrade to a patched version once available. Until a patch is released, administrators should implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block suspicious CSRF-like requests targeting the plugin's endpoints. Enforcing strict Content Security Policy (CSP) and SameSite cookie attributes can reduce CSRF risks. Additionally, developers or site administrators can manually add anti-CSRF tokens to forms and verify the origin of requests to ensure they originate from legitimate sources. Monitoring user activity logs for unusual product catalog modifications can help detect exploitation attempts. Educating users to avoid clicking on suspicious links while authenticated can also reduce risk. Regular security assessments and plugin updates are critical to maintaining a secure environment.
