CVE-2025-67577 identifies a Missing Authorization vulnerability in the Easy Form Builder plugin developed by hassantafreshi, affecting all versions up to and including 3.8.20. This vulnerability arises from incorrectly configured access control mechanisms, which fail to properly restrict unauthorized access to certain functionalities or data within the plugin. Specifically, the flaw allows remote attackers to bypass authorization checks without requiring authentication or user interaction, enabling them to access sensitive form data or perform actions reserved for authorized users. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network (AV:N), requires low attack complexity (AC:L), and does not require privileges (PR:N) or user interaction (UI:N). The impact is limited to confidentiality (C:L), with no direct effects on integrity or availability. Although no known exploits have been reported in the wild, the vulnerability poses a risk to organizations relying on Easy Form Builder for collecting and managing user-submitted data. The lack of proper authorization checks could lead to unauthorized data disclosure, undermining data privacy and compliance obligations. The vulnerability was published on December 9, 2025, and currently no patches or fixes are linked, indicating that organizations must proactively monitor vendor updates and implement compensating controls. The plugin’s widespread use in web environments, especially within WordPress ecosystems, increases the potential attack surface. The vulnerability’s medium severity rating (CVSS 5.3) reflects a moderate risk profile, balancing ease of exploitation with limited impact scope.

For European organizations, the primary impact of CVE-2025-67577 is the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data collected via Easy Form Builder forms. This can lead to breaches of personal data, violating GDPR and other data protection regulations, potentially resulting in legal penalties and reputational damage. The confidentiality breach may expose customer information, internal feedback, or other sensitive inputs collected through forms, which could be leveraged for social engineering or further attacks. While the vulnerability does not affect data integrity or system availability, the loss of confidentiality alone is significant, especially for sectors handling personal or financial data such as healthcare, finance, and public services. Organizations using Easy Form Builder without strict access controls or monitoring are at higher risk. The absence of authentication requirements for exploitation means attackers can attempt access remotely without prior credentials, increasing the threat level. The lack of known exploits currently provides a window for mitigation before widespread attacks occur. However, the potential for automated scanning and exploitation by opportunistic attackers remains a concern.

1. Monitor the vendor’s official channels for patches or updates addressing CVE-2025-67577 and apply them promptly once available. 2. Until a patch is released, restrict access to Easy Form Builder administrative interfaces using IP whitelisting, VPNs, or web application firewalls (WAFs) to limit exposure. 3. Implement strict role-based access controls (RBAC) within the CMS to ensure only authorized personnel can access or modify form builder settings and data. 4. Conduct regular audits of form data access logs to detect unusual or unauthorized access attempts. 5. Employ network segmentation to isolate web-facing services hosting the plugin from sensitive internal systems. 6. Use security plugins or tools that can detect and block unauthorized access attempts targeting the plugin. 7. Educate administrators and developers about the risks of missing authorization and the importance of secure configuration. 8. Consider alternative form builder solutions with stronger security postures if immediate patching is not feasible. 9. Review and harden the overall web application security posture, including timely updates of all CMS components and plugins. 10. Prepare incident response plans to quickly address any detected exploitation attempts.
