CVE-2025-68567 identifies a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the wphocus My auctions allegro WordPress plugin, specifically affecting versions up to and including 3.6.32. CSRF vulnerabilities enable attackers to induce authenticated users to perform unwanted actions on web applications without their knowledge or consent. In this case, the plugin lacks adequate CSRF protections, such as anti-CSRF tokens, allowing attackers to craft malicious web requests that, when visited by an authenticated user, can execute arbitrary actions within the plugin's context. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network without requiring any privileges or prior authentication, though it does require user interaction (e.g., clicking a malicious link). The CVSS v3.1 score of 8.8 reflects the high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, as successful exploitation could allow attackers to manipulate auction data, potentially leading to data theft, unauthorized transactions, or denial of service. The plugin is commonly used in WordPress environments to integrate auction functionalities, particularly with Allegro, a popular e-commerce platform in Europe. While no public exploits have been reported yet, the vulnerability's presence in widely deployed versions underscores the urgency for remediation. The lack of official patches or updates at the time of publication necessitates immediate defensive measures to prevent exploitation.

For European organizations, especially those operating e-commerce or auction websites using the My auctions allegro plugin, this vulnerability poses significant risks. Attackers could manipulate auction listings, alter bids, or disrupt auction processes, leading to financial losses, reputational damage, and erosion of customer trust. The compromise of confidentiality could expose sensitive user data, including personal and transactional information. Integrity violations could result in fraudulent auctions or unauthorized changes to auction parameters. Availability impacts might include denial of service through malicious actions or corrupted auction data. Given the plugin's integration with Allegro, a major European e-commerce platform, organizations relying on this plugin in countries with high Allegro usage are particularly vulnerable. The ease of exploitation without authentication and the high CVSS score indicate that even less sophisticated attackers could leverage this flaw to cause substantial harm. Additionally, regulatory implications under GDPR for data breaches increase the stakes for European entities.

1. Immediately audit all WordPress installations for the presence of the My auctions allegro plugin and identify affected versions (<=3.6.32). 2. If an official patch or update becomes available, apply it without delay. 3. In the absence of a patch, implement manual CSRF protections by adding anti-CSRF tokens to all state-changing requests within the plugin code. 4. Restrict plugin usage to trusted administrators and limit user roles that can interact with auction functionalities. 5. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious CSRF attack patterns targeting the plugin endpoints. 6. Monitor web server and application logs for unusual POST requests or patterns indicative of CSRF attempts. 7. Educate users and administrators about the risks of clicking unsolicited links, especially when authenticated. 8. Consider isolating or disabling the plugin temporarily if mitigation is not feasible until a patch is released. 9. Regularly back up auction data to enable recovery in case of compromise. 10. Coordinate with Allegro platform support to understand any additional recommended security measures.
