CVE-2025-6325 is a security vulnerability classified as Incorrect Privilege Assignment found in the King Addons for Elementor plugin developed by KingAddons.com. This plugin extends the Elementor page builder functionality in WordPress environments. The vulnerability allows an attacker with limited privileges to escalate their access rights, potentially gaining administrative control over the WordPress site. The affected versions include all releases up to and including 51.1.36. The root cause is improper assignment or validation of user privileges within the plugin's code, which fails to enforce correct access controls. This flaw can be exploited by authenticated users with low-level permissions to perform actions reserved for administrators, such as modifying site content, installing malicious code, or accessing sensitive data. Although no public exploits have been reported yet, the vulnerability poses a significant risk due to the widespread use of Elementor and its add-ons in WordPress sites globally. The absence of a CVSS score indicates that the vulnerability is newly disclosed and pending formal severity assessment. The issue was reserved in June 2025 and published in November 2025, with no patch links currently available, suggesting that users should monitor vendor updates closely. The vulnerability impacts the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of affected systems, as unauthorized privilege escalation can lead to full site compromise.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-6325 can be substantial. Many businesses, government agencies, and institutions in Europe rely on WordPress and Elementor for their websites and digital services. An attacker exploiting this vulnerability could gain administrative access, leading to unauthorized data disclosure, defacement, or disruption of services. This could result in reputational damage, regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR violations), and financial losses. The compromise of websites could also serve as a foothold for further attacks within an organization's network. Public-facing websites with customer data or transactional capabilities are particularly at risk. Additionally, the vulnerability could be leveraged in targeted attacks against high-value entities or critical infrastructure operators using the affected plugin. The lack of known exploits currently provides a window for proactive mitigation, but the risk remains high given the ease of privilege escalation once exploited.

1. Monitor KingAddons.com and trusted vulnerability databases for official patches or updates addressing CVE-2025-6325 and apply them immediately upon release. 2. Until a patch is available, restrict user roles and permissions in WordPress to the minimum necessary, especially limiting access to users who can install or modify plugins. 3. Conduct an audit of current user accounts and remove or downgrade any unnecessary administrative privileges. 4. Implement Web Application Firewalls (WAF) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious requests targeting plugin endpoints. 5. Enable detailed logging and monitoring of WordPress administrative actions to detect anomalous behavior indicative of privilege escalation attempts. 6. Educate site administrators on the risks and signs of exploitation related to this vulnerability. 7. Consider isolating critical WordPress instances or using containerization to limit the blast radius of a potential compromise. 8. Regularly back up website data and configurations to enable rapid recovery in case of an incident.
