CVE-2025-62932 is a missing authorization vulnerability found in the wprio Table Block plugin developed by RioVizual, affecting all versions up to and including 2.3.2. The vulnerability arises due to incorrectly configured access control security levels, which allow users with limited privileges (PR:L) to bypass authorization checks and perform unauthorized actions on the Table Block component. The vulnerability does not require user interaction (UI:N) and can be exploited remotely over the network (AV:N). The scope is unchanged (S:U), meaning the exploit affects resources within the same security scope. The impact is severe, affecting confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H), allowing attackers to potentially access sensitive data, modify or delete content, or disrupt service availability. Although no known exploits are currently in the wild, the high CVSS score of 8.8 indicates a critical risk. The vulnerability is particularly concerning for web applications using this plugin, as it can be leveraged by authenticated users with limited privileges to escalate their access rights and compromise the system. The lack of patches at the time of publication necessitates immediate attention to access control policies and monitoring for anomalous activities.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk, especially for those utilizing the wprio Table Block plugin in their web environments, commonly within WordPress ecosystems. The ability for low-privileged users to bypass authorization can lead to unauthorized data exposure, data manipulation, or service disruption, impacting business operations and regulatory compliance, including GDPR. Organizations handling sensitive personal data, financial information, or critical infrastructure are particularly vulnerable. The disruption of availability could affect customer-facing services or internal workflows, leading to reputational damage and financial loss. Given the plugin’s role in managing tabular data, exploitation could result in data integrity issues that undermine decision-making processes. Additionally, the lack of public exploits currently does not diminish the urgency, as attackers often develop exploits rapidly after disclosure. The threat landscape in Europe, with stringent data protection laws and high digital adoption, amplifies the potential consequences of this vulnerability.

1. Immediately audit and restrict user privileges to the minimum necessary, especially for users with access to the Table Block plugin features. 2. Monitor logs and user activities for unusual access patterns or unauthorized attempts to manipulate table data. 3. Implement web application firewalls (WAF) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious requests targeting the Table Block plugin endpoints. 4. Engage with the vendor RioVizual for timely patch releases and apply updates as soon as they become available. 5. Conduct a thorough review of access control configurations within the affected plugin and the broader application environment to ensure proper enforcement. 6. Consider temporary disabling or removing the Table Block plugin if it is not critical to operations until a patch is released. 7. Educate administrators and developers about the risks of improper access control and enforce secure coding and configuration practices. 8. Integrate vulnerability scanning tools that can detect this specific CVE to maintain ongoing visibility.
