CVE-2025-62918 identifies a missing authorization vulnerability in the IgnitionDeck plugin developed by ignitionwp, affecting all versions up to and including 2.0.10. IgnitionDeck is a WordPress plugin widely used for e-commerce, membership management, and digital product delivery. The vulnerability stems from incorrectly configured access control mechanisms within the plugin, which fail to properly verify whether a user has the necessary permissions before allowing certain actions or access to resources. This missing authorization flaw means that unauthorized users, potentially including unauthenticated attackers or low-privilege users, could exploit the plugin to perform restricted operations or access sensitive data. Although no public exploits have been reported yet, the nature of the vulnerability suggests it could be leveraged to bypass security controls, leading to unauthorized data disclosure, modification, or other malicious activities. The lack of a CVSS score indicates that the vulnerability is newly published and not yet fully assessed, but the technical details and context imply a significant risk. IgnitionDeck’s role in managing transactions and memberships makes this vulnerability particularly concerning for websites that rely on it for critical business functions. The vulnerability affects WordPress sites running IgnitionDeck versions up to 2.0.10, which may be widely deployed across various sectors, including education, digital content, and e-commerce. The absence of patches at the time of publication necessitates immediate attention to access control configurations and monitoring for suspicious activity.

For European organizations, the missing authorization vulnerability in IgnitionDeck could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive customer data, transaction details, or membership information, compromising confidentiality and integrity. Attackers exploiting this flaw might manipulate membership statuses, access restricted content, or interfere with e-commerce transactions, potentially causing financial loss and reputational damage. Given IgnitionDeck’s integration with WordPress, a platform extensively used across Europe, the scope of affected systems is considerable. The vulnerability could disrupt availability if attackers perform unauthorized actions that degrade service or cause operational issues. Organizations in sectors such as online education, digital media, and e-commerce are particularly at risk. The lack of authentication requirements for exploitation increases the threat level, as attackers do not need valid credentials to attempt exploitation. This could lead to widespread abuse if automated attacks emerge. Additionally, regulatory implications under GDPR could arise if personal data is exposed or altered without authorization, leading to legal and compliance consequences.

European organizations using IgnitionDeck should immediately audit their current plugin versions and restrict access to critical functions through WordPress role management and web application firewalls (WAFs). Until an official patch is released, implement strict IP whitelisting or VPN access for administrative interfaces to reduce exposure. Monitor logs for unusual access patterns or unauthorized attempts to access restricted areas of the plugin. Disable or limit IgnitionDeck features that require elevated privileges if not essential. Engage in proactive vulnerability scanning and penetration testing focused on access control weaknesses. Prepare for rapid deployment of patches once available by maintaining an up-to-date inventory of affected systems. Educate site administrators on the risks of missing authorization vulnerabilities and enforce the principle of least privilege for all user roles. Consider isolating IgnitionDeck functionality on separate subdomains or environments to contain potential exploitation impact. Finally, maintain regular backups to enable recovery in case of data tampering or service disruption.
