CVE-2025-62130 is a vulnerability classified under CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) found in the WPdiscover Accordion Slider Gallery WordPress plugin, affecting versions up to 2.7. This vulnerability arises from incorrectly configured access control mechanisms that fail to properly enforce authorization checks on certain actions within the plugin. As a result, users with limited privileges (authenticated users with some level of access) can exploit this flaw to perform unauthorized operations that they should not be permitted to execute. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 4.3, indicating a medium severity level. The vector indicates network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), requiring privileges (PR:L), no user interaction (UI:N), unchanged scope (S:U), no confidentiality impact (C:N), integrity impact (I:L), and no availability impact (A:N). This means the attacker must be authenticated with some privileges but can exploit the vulnerability remotely without user interaction. The primary impact is on integrity, potentially allowing unauthorized modification of data or settings within the plugin's scope. There are no known exploits in the wild, and no patches have been published yet. The vulnerability affects WordPress sites using the Accordion Slider Gallery plugin, which is used to create interactive slider galleries on websites. The root cause is a failure to enforce proper authorization checks on sensitive operations, allowing privilege escalation or unauthorized actions within the plugin's functionality.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-62130 primarily concerns the integrity of website content managed through the Accordion Slider Gallery plugin. An attacker with limited authenticated access could manipulate slider content or settings, potentially defacing websites or injecting misleading information. While this does not directly compromise confidentiality or availability, it can damage organizational reputation, erode user trust, and potentially facilitate further attacks if combined with other vulnerabilities. Organizations relying on WordPress for marketing, e-commerce, or public-facing information portals are particularly at risk. The absence of known exploits reduces immediate threat but does not eliminate risk, especially as attackers often develop exploits after vulnerability disclosure. The medium severity reflects the need for timely mitigation to prevent unauthorized content manipulation and maintain website integrity.

1. Immediately review and restrict user roles and permissions on WordPress sites using the Accordion Slider Gallery plugin, ensuring only trusted users have authenticated access. 2. Implement the principle of least privilege by limiting plugin management capabilities to administrators or highly trusted roles. 3. Monitor website content and plugin configurations regularly for unauthorized changes or anomalies. 4. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAF) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious requests targeting the plugin’s endpoints. 5. Stay informed on vendor updates and security advisories for the Accordion Slider Gallery plugin and apply patches promptly once available. 6. Consider temporarily disabling or replacing the plugin with alternative solutions if immediate patching is not possible. 7. Conduct internal audits of WordPress user accounts and remove or disable inactive or unnecessary accounts to reduce attack surface. 8. Use security plugins that enforce two-factor authentication and enhanced logging to detect unauthorized access attempts.
