CVE-2025-64263 is a vulnerability identified in the PluginEver WP Content Pilot WordPress plugin, specifically affecting versions up to and including 2.1.7. The core issue is a missing authorization check, meaning that certain actions or resources within the plugin can be accessed or manipulated by users who should not have the necessary permissions. This is due to incorrectly configured access control security levels within the plugin's code. The vulnerability allows an attacker with low-level privileges (authenticated but limited user) to perform unauthorized operations without requiring any user interaction, and it can be exploited remotely over the network. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 5.4, indicating a medium severity level. The impact primarily affects confidentiality and integrity, as unauthorized users might access or alter content managed by the plugin, but it does not impact availability. No public exploits have been reported yet, but the vulnerability's presence in a widely used WordPress plugin makes it a potential target. The lack of a patch link suggests that a fix may not yet be publicly available, emphasizing the need for monitoring and interim mitigations.

For European organizations, the vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized access and modification of content managed by the WP Content Pilot plugin. This can lead to data leakage, content tampering, or injection of malicious content, potentially damaging organizational reputation and trust. Since WordPress is widely used across Europe for corporate websites, blogs, and e-commerce, exploitation could affect a broad range of sectors including media, education, government, and commerce. The medium severity indicates that while the impact is not critical, it can still lead to significant operational and reputational harm if exploited. Organizations relying on this plugin without proper access controls or monitoring may face increased risk of targeted attacks or automated exploitation once public exploits emerge. The absence of availability impact reduces the risk of denial-of-service conditions but does not diminish the importance of addressing confidentiality and integrity concerns.

1. Immediately verify if WP Content Pilot plugin version 2.1.7 or earlier is in use and plan for an upgrade once a patch is released by PluginEver. 2. Until a patch is available, restrict access to the WordPress admin dashboard and plugin-specific endpoints to trusted IP addresses or VPN users. 3. Implement strict role-based access controls (RBAC) within WordPress to limit the capabilities of low-privilege users, minimizing the attack surface. 4. Monitor logs for unusual access patterns or unauthorized attempts to access plugin functionality. 5. Use Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious requests targeting the plugin. 6. Regularly audit installed plugins and remove or replace those that are no longer maintained or have known vulnerabilities. 7. Educate site administrators on the importance of timely plugin updates and security best practices. 8. Consider isolating critical WordPress instances or using containerization to limit potential lateral movement in case of compromise.
