CVE-2025-67998 identifies a critical authentication bypass vulnerability in the Miraculous Elementor plugin developed by kamleshyadav, affecting all versions up to and including 2.0.7. The vulnerability arises from the plugin’s failure to properly enforce authentication checks, allowing attackers to exploit alternate paths or communication channels to bypass login requirements. This could be due to improper validation of session tokens, flawed access control logic, or alternate API endpoints that do not require authentication. As a result, an attacker can gain unauthorized access to administrative or privileged functions within the plugin, potentially leading to full site compromise, data theft, or unauthorized modifications. The vulnerability does not require user interaction, increasing its risk profile. Although no public exploits have been reported yet, the absence of patches and the plugin’s usage in WordPress environments make it a significant threat. The lack of a CVSS score indicates that the vulnerability is newly published and awaiting further analysis. The vulnerability’s impact is primarily on confidentiality and integrity, with possible availability implications if attackers modify or disrupt site functionality. The plugin’s market penetration in WordPress ecosystems, especially in regions with high WordPress adoption, amplifies the threat’s reach.

The authentication bypass vulnerability can have severe consequences for organizations using the Miraculous Elementor plugin. Unauthorized access may allow attackers to manipulate website content, inject malicious code, steal sensitive user data, or escalate privileges to compromise the entire web server. This can lead to reputational damage, loss of customer trust, regulatory penalties, and financial losses. For e-commerce or service-oriented websites, the impact can extend to transaction fraud and service disruption. The ease of exploitation without user interaction increases the likelihood of automated attacks and widespread exploitation once public exploits emerge. Organizations relying on this plugin for critical website functionality or hosting sensitive data are particularly vulnerable. The absence of patches increases exposure time, and the potential for attackers to use this vulnerability as a foothold for further network intrusion elevates the overall risk.

1. Immediately monitor official channels and vendor announcements for patches or updates addressing CVE-2025-67998 and apply them promptly once available. 2. Restrict access to WordPress admin and plugin management interfaces using IP whitelisting, VPNs, or multi-factor authentication to reduce the attack surface. 3. Deploy Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious requests targeting alternate paths or channels associated with the Miraculous Elementor plugin. 4. Conduct thorough audits of user accounts and permissions to identify and remove any unauthorized access resulting from exploitation attempts. 5. Implement network segmentation to isolate web servers running vulnerable plugins from critical internal systems. 6. Regularly back up website data and configurations to enable rapid recovery in case of compromise. 7. Educate site administrators about the risks of installing unverified plugins and encourage the use of plugins with active maintenance and security support. 8. Consider temporarily disabling or replacing the Miraculous Elementor plugin with a secure alternative until a patch is available.
