CVE-2025-69345 is a missing authorization vulnerability identified in the BoldGrid Post and Page Builder plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 1.27.9. This vulnerability arises from incorrectly configured access control security levels within the plugin, allowing authenticated users with limited privileges (low-level privileges) to bypass authorization checks and perform actions beyond their intended scope. The vulnerability does not require user interaction and can be exploited remotely over the network. The impact primarily affects confidentiality and integrity, as unauthorized users may access or modify content they should not be able to. Availability is not impacted. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.4 (medium severity), with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N, indicating network attack vector, low attack complexity, requiring privileges but no user interaction, and unchanged scope. No public exploits or patches are currently available, but the vulnerability is published and should be addressed promptly. The plugin is widely used in WordPress environments for building posts and pages, making this a relevant threat to websites relying on BoldGrid for content management.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized content access and modification within WordPress sites using the BoldGrid Post and Page Builder plugin. Attackers with low-level authenticated access could escalate privileges or manipulate site content, potentially leading to data leakage, defacement, or misinformation. This could undermine organizational reputation, violate data protection regulations such as GDPR if personal data is exposed, and disrupt business operations relying on web presence. The absence of availability impact reduces the risk of denial-of-service, but integrity and confidentiality impacts remain significant. Organizations with public-facing websites or intranets using this plugin are at particular risk. The medium severity score suggests a moderate but actionable threat that should be mitigated to prevent exploitation.

1. Monitor official BoldGrid channels and Patchstack advisories for the release of a security patch addressing CVE-2025-69345 and apply it immediately upon availability. 2. In the interim, restrict access to the WordPress admin dashboard and BoldGrid plugin functionalities to trusted users only, minimizing the number of accounts with any privileges. 3. Conduct a thorough audit of user roles and permissions within WordPress to ensure the principle of least privilege is enforced, removing unnecessary privileges from low-level users. 4. Implement web application firewalls (WAF) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious requests targeting BoldGrid plugin endpoints. 5. Regularly review logs for unusual activity related to content creation or modification within the plugin. 6. Educate site administrators about the risks of privilege escalation and the importance of strong authentication controls. 7. Consider temporarily disabling the BoldGrid Post and Page Builder plugin if feasible until a patch is applied, especially on high-risk or sensitive sites.
