CVE-2026-25337 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability identified in the WordPress plugin Coachify, developed by wpcoachify, affecting versions up to 1.1.5. CSRF vulnerabilities occur when an attacker tricks an authenticated user into submitting unwanted requests to a web application, leveraging the user's credentials and session. In this case, the vulnerability allows attackers to craft malicious web requests that, when visited by a logged-in user with sufficient privileges, can cause the plugin to perform unintended actions such as changing settings, modifying content, or triggering other plugin-specific functions. The vulnerability does not require the attacker to have direct access or authentication, but the victim must be logged into the WordPress site with appropriate permissions. No CVSS score has been assigned yet, and no public exploits are known. The lack of patch links indicates that a fix may not yet be available, emphasizing the need for immediate attention once patches are released. The vulnerability impacts the integrity and availability of affected sites by enabling unauthorized state changes, potentially leading to site misconfiguration or service disruption. Since Coachify is a niche plugin used primarily in coaching and training contexts, the attack surface is limited to sites employing this plugin. However, given WordPress's widespread use in Europe and the plugin's role in managing coaching content, the risk remains significant for affected organizations.

For European organizations, exploitation of this CSRF vulnerability could lead to unauthorized changes in coaching content, user settings, or plugin configurations, potentially disrupting service delivery and damaging organizational reputation. Confidentiality impact is limited since the vulnerability does not directly expose sensitive data, but integrity and availability could be significantly affected. Attackers could manipulate site content or functionality, causing misinformation or denial of service in coaching platforms. This is particularly critical for organizations relying on WordPress-based coaching tools for client engagement, training, or compliance purposes. The ease of exploitation—requiring only that a logged-in user visits a malicious page—heightens the threat. Additionally, the absence of known exploits currently provides a window for proactive mitigation. Failure to address this vulnerability could lead to targeted attacks against European coaching and educational institutions, potentially affecting client trust and regulatory compliance.

1. Monitor wpcoachify and official WordPress plugin repositories for patches addressing CVE-2026-25337 and apply updates immediately upon release. 2. Implement anti-CSRF tokens in all forms and state-changing requests within the Coachify plugin or through custom code if feasible. 3. Restrict plugin access and administrative privileges to the minimum necessary users to reduce the risk of exploitation. 4. Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules designed to detect and block CSRF attack patterns targeting WordPress plugins. 5. Educate users and administrators to avoid clicking on suspicious links while logged into WordPress dashboards. 6. Regularly audit plugin usage and permissions to ensure no unnecessary exposure. 7. Consider isolating critical coaching content behind additional authentication layers or VPN access to reduce attack surface. 8. Conduct security assessments and penetration testing focused on CSRF and related web vulnerabilities in WordPress environments.
