CVE-2025-64352 identifies a missing authorization vulnerability in the WPDeveloper Essential Addons for Elementor plugin, a widely used WordPress plugin that extends Elementor page builder functionality. The vulnerability arises from incorrectly configured access control security levels, allowing unauthorized users to perform actions that should be restricted. This could include modifying content, changing plugin settings, or executing administrative functions without proper permissions. The affected versions include all releases up to and including 6.2.4. The vulnerability does not require user interaction but does depend on the attacker having some level of access to the WordPress environment, typically through the web interface. No public exploits have been reported yet, and no official patch links are available at the time of publication. The absence of a CVSS score indicates that the vulnerability is newly disclosed and pending further analysis. However, missing authorization issues are critical in nature because they undermine the fundamental security model of access control, potentially leading to privilege escalation and unauthorized data exposure or modification. Organizations using this plugin should be aware of the risk and prepare to apply patches or mitigations promptly once released.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to websites and web applications built on WordPress using the Essential Addons for Elementor plugin. The potential impacts include unauthorized modification of website content, defacement, injection of malicious code, or unauthorized access to sensitive administrative functions. This can lead to reputational damage, data breaches, and disruption of online services. Organizations in sectors such as e-commerce, media, government, and education that rely heavily on WordPress for their web presence are particularly vulnerable. The compromise of website integrity can also facilitate further attacks such as phishing or malware distribution. Given the widespread use of WordPress and this plugin, the scope of affected systems is broad, increasing the potential impact across multiple industries and countries in Europe.

1. Monitor WPDeveloper and official plugin channels for the release of security patches addressing CVE-2025-64352 and apply updates immediately upon availability. 2. Until patches are available, restrict access to WordPress administrative interfaces using IP whitelisting, VPNs, or multi-factor authentication to reduce unauthorized access risk. 3. Conduct a thorough audit of user roles and permissions within WordPress to ensure the principle of least privilege is enforced. 4. Implement web application firewalls (WAF) with rules to detect and block suspicious requests targeting the plugin’s functionality. 5. Regularly back up website data and configurations to enable quick restoration in case of compromise. 6. Employ security monitoring and logging to detect unusual activity related to plugin usage or access control violations. 7. Educate site administrators about the risks of unauthorized access and encourage prompt reporting of suspicious behavior. 8. Consider temporarily disabling or limiting the use of the Essential Addons for Elementor plugin if feasible until a patch is applied.
