CVE-2025-69344 is a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) identified in the ThemeHunk Oneline Lite WordPress theme, affecting versions up to 6.6. This vulnerability arises from incorrectly configured access control security levels, allowing users with limited privileges (such as low-level authenticated users) to perform actions or access functionality that should be restricted to higher privilege roles. The vulnerability does not require user interaction and can be exploited remotely over the network. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.3 (medium severity), reflecting that the attack vector is network-based, the attack complexity is low, privileges required are low, no user interaction is needed, and the impact is limited to integrity (no confidentiality or availability impact). The flaw could allow unauthorized changes to website content, settings, or theme configurations, potentially undermining the trustworthiness and appearance of affected sites. No patches or fixes have been published at the time of disclosure, and no known exploits are reported in the wild. The vulnerability was reserved at the end of 2025 and published in early 2026 by Patchstack, a known WordPress security vendor. Organizations using Oneline Lite should be aware of this risk and prepare to apply patches once available or implement interim controls.

For European organizations, the primary impact of CVE-2025-69344 is the potential unauthorized modification of website content or configurations, which can lead to reputational damage, misinformation, or disruption of online services. Although the vulnerability does not directly compromise confidentiality or availability, integrity violations can undermine customer trust and may lead to secondary attacks such as phishing or malware distribution if attackers alter site content. Organizations relying on Oneline Lite for public-facing websites, especially those in sectors like e-commerce, media, or government, may face increased risk. The medium severity score indicates that while the threat is not critical, it should not be ignored. The lack of known exploits reduces immediate risk, but the presence of a vulnerability in a widely used WordPress theme means attackers could develop exploits in the future. European entities must consider the regulatory implications of compromised website integrity under GDPR and other data protection laws if user data or transactions are affected indirectly.

1. Immediately audit user roles and permissions within WordPress to ensure that only trusted users have elevated privileges. 2. Restrict the number of users with low privileges who can access theme configuration or content editing features. 3. Monitor website logs and user activity for unusual changes or access patterns that could indicate exploitation attempts. 4. Implement Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block suspicious requests targeting theme configuration endpoints. 5. Stay informed about updates from ThemeHunk and apply patches promptly once released. 6. Consider temporarily disabling or replacing the Oneline Lite theme with a more secure alternative if feasible until a patch is available. 7. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on access control mechanisms in WordPress environments. 8. Educate site administrators about the risks of privilege escalation and the importance of strict access controls.
