CVE-2025-62919 identifies a critical missing authorization vulnerability in the themeshopy TS Demo Importer plugin, versions up to and including 0.1.2. The vulnerability arises from incorrectly configured access control security levels, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to invoke sensitive import functions without proper authorization checks. This lack of access control means that attackers can manipulate the plugin’s demo import features, potentially altering website content, injecting malicious data, or disrupting site availability. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network without any privileges or user interaction, as reflected in its CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N). The impact affects the integrity and availability of affected systems, enabling attackers to modify site data or cause denial of service. Although no public exploits have been reported yet, the high CVSS score of 9.1 underscores the critical nature of this flaw. The plugin is commonly used in WordPress environments to import demo content, often in themes or e-commerce setups, making it a valuable target for attackers seeking to compromise websites or disrupt business operations. The vulnerability was published on October 27, 2025, and no patches or mitigations have been officially released at the time of this report, increasing the urgency for defensive measures.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-62919 can be severe. Many businesses rely on WordPress and associated plugins like TS Demo Importer for website management, marketing, and e-commerce. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized content changes, insertion of malicious code, or complete site outages, damaging brand reputation and customer trust. The integrity compromise could facilitate further attacks such as malware distribution or phishing. Availability disruption could result in downtime, lost revenue, and operational delays. Given the plugin’s role in demo content import, attackers might also manipulate product or service presentations, misleading customers or causing compliance issues. The lack of authentication requirements means attackers can exploit this vulnerability at scale, potentially targeting multiple organizations simultaneously. European data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR) may impose additional legal and financial consequences if personal data is affected or if service disruptions impact contractual obligations.

1. Immediately identify and inventory all WordPress installations using the themeshopy TS Demo Importer plugin, especially versions <= 0.1.2. 2. Disable or uninstall the TS Demo Importer plugin until a security patch is released. 3. If disabling is not feasible, restrict access to the plugin’s import functionality by implementing IP whitelisting or web application firewall (WAF) rules to block unauthorized requests. 4. Monitor web server and application logs for unusual or unauthorized access attempts targeting the demo import endpoints. 5. Apply principle of least privilege to WordPress user roles, ensuring only trusted administrators have plugin management rights. 6. Stay informed about vendor updates or patches and apply them promptly once available. 7. Conduct security audits and penetration tests focusing on plugin vulnerabilities and access control configurations. 8. Educate site administrators about the risks of installing unverified plugins and the importance of timely updates. 9. Consider deploying runtime application self-protection (RASP) or endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to detect exploitation attempts in real time.
