CVE-2025-64247 identifies a missing authorization vulnerability in the edmon.parker Read More & Accordion plugin, specifically versions up to and including 3.5.4.1. The vulnerability arises from incorrectly configured access control security levels, which allow attackers to bypass authorization checks. This means that unauthorized users could potentially perform actions or access data that should be restricted. The plugin is typically used to manage expandable content sections on websites, often integrated into content management systems (CMS). Although no exploits have been reported in the wild, the vulnerability poses a significant risk because it undermines the fundamental security principle of access control. The absence of a CVSS score indicates that the vulnerability has not yet been fully evaluated for severity, but the nature of missing authorization suggests a high risk. The vulnerability was published on December 16, 2025, with the initial reservation date on October 29, 2025. No patches or mitigations have been officially released at the time of this report, emphasizing the need for immediate attention from administrators using this plugin. The vulnerability could be exploited remotely without authentication or user interaction, increasing its threat potential. Organizations relying on this plugin should conduct thorough audits of their access control configurations and monitor for suspicious activities related to this component.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-64247 could be substantial, especially for those relying on the edmon.parker Read More & Accordion plugin in their web infrastructure. Unauthorized access could lead to data leakage, unauthorized content manipulation, or privilege escalation within web applications. This could compromise the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive information, damage organizational reputation, and potentially lead to regulatory non-compliance under GDPR if personal data is exposed. The availability impact is likely limited but cannot be ruled out if attackers leverage the vulnerability to disrupt content rendering or website functionality. The risk is heightened in sectors with high web presence such as e-commerce, media, and public services. Given the plugin’s role in user interface elements, exploitation could also facilitate social engineering or phishing attacks by altering displayed content. European organizations with limited patch management processes or those unaware of the plugin’s security posture are particularly vulnerable. The absence of known exploits provides a window for proactive defense, but also means attackers may develop exploits rapidly once the vulnerability becomes widely known.

1. Immediate identification of all instances of the edmon.parker Read More & Accordion plugin within organizational web environments is critical. 2. Until an official patch is released, restrict access to administrative interfaces and plugin management pages to trusted personnel only, using network segmentation and strict firewall rules. 3. Implement Web Application Firewalls (WAF) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious requests targeting the plugin’s endpoints. 4. Conduct thorough access control audits to ensure that no unauthorized users have elevated privileges or access to sensitive plugin functions. 5. Monitor web server and application logs for unusual activity patterns related to the plugin, such as unexpected parameter usage or access attempts. 6. Educate web administrators and developers about the vulnerability and encourage prompt application of patches once available. 7. Consider temporary deactivation or removal of the plugin if it is not essential to reduce the attack surface. 8. Employ vulnerability scanning tools that can detect this specific issue to maintain ongoing awareness. 9. Coordinate with vendors or plugin maintainers for timely updates and security advisories. 10. Integrate this vulnerability into incident response plans to ensure rapid containment if exploitation is detected.
