CVE-2025-62070 identifies a missing authorization vulnerability in the WPXPO WowRevenue plugin, affecting versions up to and including 1.2.13. This flaw arises because the plugin fails to properly verify whether a user has the necessary permissions before allowing access to certain revenue-related functionalities or data. The vulnerability is exploitable remotely over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), requiring the attacker to have some level of privileges (PR:L), but no user interaction (UI:N). The scope remains unchanged (S:U), meaning the exploit affects only the vulnerable component without impacting other system components. The impact is limited to confidentiality (C:L), with no effect on integrity or availability. This suggests that an attacker could potentially view restricted information or data but cannot modify or disrupt the system. The vulnerability was reserved on October 7, 2025, and published on October 22, 2025. No known exploits have been reported in the wild, and no official patches have been linked yet, indicating that mitigation currently relies on workarounds or vendor updates. The vulnerability is classified as medium severity with a CVSS v3.1 score of 4.3. Given that WowRevenue is a WordPress plugin related to revenue management, exploitation could expose sensitive financial or operational data, potentially aiding further attacks or fraud.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-62070 depends largely on the extent of WowRevenue plugin usage within their WordPress environments. Organizations using this plugin for revenue tracking or financial operations may face confidentiality risks, such as unauthorized disclosure of sensitive revenue data or customer information. Although the vulnerability does not allow data modification or service disruption, the exposure of confidential data could lead to reputational damage, regulatory compliance issues (e.g., GDPR violations), and potential financial fraud. The requirement for low-level privileges means that insider threats or compromised low-privilege accounts could exploit this vulnerability. Since no known exploits exist yet, the immediate risk is moderate, but the potential for escalation or chaining with other vulnerabilities remains. European organizations with e-commerce platforms or financial services relying on WordPress plugins should prioritize assessment and remediation to prevent data leakage and comply with data protection regulations.

1. Immediately audit user roles and permissions within WordPress to ensure that only trusted users have access to the WowRevenue plugin features. 2. Restrict access to the plugin’s administrative and revenue-related functions to the minimum necessary user roles. 3. Monitor access logs for unusual or unauthorized attempts to access WowRevenue functionalities. 4. Apply any vendor-released patches or updates for WowRevenue as soon as they become available. 5. If patches are not yet available, consider temporarily disabling the WowRevenue plugin or replacing it with alternative solutions until a fix is released. 6. Implement network-level controls such as web application firewalls (WAFs) to detect and block suspicious requests targeting the plugin. 7. Educate administrators and users about the risks of privilege escalation and enforce strong authentication mechanisms to reduce the risk of account compromise. 8. Regularly review and update security policies related to third-party plugins and extensions in WordPress environments.
