CVE-2025-63031: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in WP Grids EasyTest
Missing Authorization vulnerability in WP Grids EasyTest allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects EasyTest: from n/a through 1.0.1.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-63031 identifies a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in the WP Grids EasyTest plugin, affecting versions up to 1.0.1. This vulnerability arises from improperly configured access control mechanisms that fail to verify whether a user has the necessary permissions before allowing certain actions. As a result, an unauthenticated attacker can remotely access or manipulate functionality intended to be restricted, leading to integrity violations such as unauthorized modification of data or configurations within the EasyTest plugin environment. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.3, reflecting a medium severity level with a vector indicating network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), unchanged scope (S:U), no confidentiality impact (C:N), integrity impact (I:L), and no availability impact (A:N). No patches or known exploits are currently available, but the vulnerability's presence in a WordPress plugin used for grid or test management could allow attackers to alter test data or plugin settings, potentially undermining the reliability of testing processes or exposing further attack surfaces. The vulnerability was reserved in late October 2025 and published at the end of December 2025, indicating recent discovery. The lack of authentication requirements and ease of exploitation make this a notable risk for affected installations.
Potential Impact
For European organizations, the primary impact of CVE-2025-63031 lies in the potential unauthorized modification of data or configurations within the WP Grids EasyTest plugin. This could compromise the integrity of testing results or grid management data, which may affect quality assurance processes, development workflows, or operational decision-making. Although confidentiality and availability are not directly impacted, integrity breaches can lead to mistrust in system outputs or introduce secondary vulnerabilities if attackers leverage altered configurations to escalate privileges or pivot within networks. Organizations using WordPress extensively, especially those integrating EasyTest for testing or grid-related functions, may face operational disruptions or reputational damage if exploited. The absence of known exploits reduces immediate risk, but the vulnerability's network accessibility and lack of authentication requirements mean that exploitation could be automated or performed by remote attackers without user involvement. This risk is heightened in environments where plugin updates are delayed or where security monitoring is insufficient.
Mitigation Recommendations
1. Monitor WP Grids and EasyTest vendor channels closely for official patches or updates addressing CVE-2025-63031 and apply them promptly once available. 2. In the interim, restrict access to the EasyTest plugin endpoints using web server configuration (e.g., IP whitelisting, HTTP authentication) to limit exposure to trusted users only. 3. Conduct an audit of WordPress user roles and permissions to ensure that only authorized personnel have access to plugin management and testing functionalities. 4. Implement web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious requests targeting EasyTest plugin paths. 5. Regularly review plugin usage and logs for anomalous activity that could indicate exploitation attempts. 6. Consider disabling or uninstalling the EasyTest plugin if it is not essential to reduce the attack surface. 7. Educate development and security teams about the risks of missing authorization vulnerabilities and encourage secure coding and configuration practices for WordPress plugins.
