CVE-2025-64286 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability identified in the WP Rentals plugin developed by WpEstate, affecting all versions up to 3.13.1. CSRF vulnerabilities occur when an attacker tricks an authenticated user into submitting a forged request to a web application, exploiting the trust that the application has in the user's browser. In this case, the vulnerability allows an attacker to craft malicious web requests that, when executed by a logged-in user, can perform unauthorized actions on the WP Rentals platform without the user's consent. The vulnerability does not require the attacker to have any privileges (PR:N) but does require user interaction (UI:R), such as clicking a malicious link or visiting a crafted webpage. The CVSS vector indicates the attack can be performed remotely (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L), and the impact is limited to confidentiality (C:L) with no impact on integrity or availability (I:N/A:N). This suggests that while sensitive information could be exposed or leaked, the attacker cannot modify or disrupt the system directly through this vulnerability. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches have been linked yet, indicating that the vulnerability is newly disclosed. The WP Rentals plugin is commonly used in WordPress environments to manage property rental listings, making it a target for attackers aiming to manipulate rental data or extract user information.

For European organizations, especially those operating real estate or rental platforms using WP Rentals, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized actions being performed on their websites. Although the direct impact is limited to confidentiality, attackers could potentially access sensitive user data or rental information by exploiting the CSRF flaw. This could lead to privacy violations, regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR), and reputational damage. Since the vulnerability requires user interaction but no authentication, attackers could target users through phishing or malicious websites to trigger the exploit. The lack of integrity and availability impact reduces the risk of service disruption or data tampering, but unauthorized data exposure remains a concern. Organizations relying on WP Rentals for client-facing services in Europe should be aware of this threat, as real estate markets in countries like Germany, France, and the UK have significant online presence and digital transaction volumes, making them attractive targets.

1. Monitor for official patches or updates from WpEstate and apply them immediately once available to remediate the CSRF vulnerability. 2. Implement anti-CSRF tokens in all forms and state-changing requests within the WP Rentals plugin to ensure requests originate from legitimate users. 3. Enforce strict referer header validation on the server side to block requests originating from untrusted sources. 4. Educate users and administrators about phishing and social engineering risks to reduce the likelihood of user interaction with malicious content. 5. Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious CSRF attack patterns targeting WP Rentals endpoints. 6. Regularly audit and review plugin permissions and configurations to minimize exposure. 7. Consider isolating or sandboxing the WP Rentals plugin environment to limit the impact of potential exploits. 8. Maintain comprehensive logging and monitoring to detect unusual activities that may indicate exploitation attempts.
