CVE-2025-62134 identifies a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the A WP Life Contact Form Widget, a WordPress plugin used to embed contact forms on websites. The vulnerability exists in versions up to 1.5.1 and allows an attacker to craft malicious web requests that, when visited by an authenticated user, cause the user’s browser to execute unintended actions on the vulnerable site without their consent. This occurs because the widget does not properly verify the origin or authenticity of requests, lacking anti-CSRF protections such as tokens or referer validation. The vulnerability impacts the integrity and availability of the affected website by enabling unauthorized changes or disruptions through forged requests. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L) indicates that the attack can be performed remotely over the network with low complexity, requires no privileges, but does require user interaction (e.g., clicking a link). The scope remains unchanged, and the impact affects integrity and availability but not confidentiality. No patches or exploits are currently reported, but the vulnerability is publicly disclosed and should be addressed promptly. The widget is commonly used in WordPress sites, which are widespread globally, including Europe.

For European organizations, this vulnerability can lead to unauthorized actions on websites that use the A WP Life Contact Form Widget, such as altering form submissions, disrupting contact processes, or causing denial of service conditions. This can degrade user trust, impact customer communications, and potentially lead to reputational damage. Organizations relying on these forms for business-critical communications or customer engagement may experience operational disruptions. Since the vulnerability requires user interaction, phishing or social engineering campaigns could be used to exploit it, increasing risk in sectors with high web presence such as e-commerce, government portals, and service providers. The lack of confidentiality impact reduces risk of data leakage, but integrity and availability impacts remain significant for service reliability and user experience.

1. Monitor for official patches or updates from the A WP Life plugin developers and apply them immediately once available. 2. Implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block suspicious cross-site requests targeting the contact form endpoints. 3. Add or enforce anti-CSRF tokens in form submissions to ensure requests are legitimate and originate from authorized users. 4. Restrict access to the widget’s administrative functions to trusted users only and limit permissions where possible. 5. Educate users and administrators about the risks of clicking unsolicited links that could trigger CSRF attacks. 6. Regularly audit and review WordPress plugins for security compliance and remove or replace outdated or unsupported plugins. 7. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to reduce the risk of malicious script execution that could facilitate CSRF attacks.
