Vulnerability Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE ID: CVE-2025-31425
\nSeverity: High (7.5 CVSS v3)
\nAttack Vector: Network
\nPrivileges Required: None
\nUser Interaction: None
\nImpact: System compromise or data leakage<\/p>\n

Affected Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

WP Lead Capturing Pages | Up to 2.3<\/p>\n

How the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

The exploit takes advantage of a flaw in the plugin’s access control configuration. An attacker could send specially crafted requests to the plugin\u2019s functions that are supposed to be restricted to authorized users only. Due to the flaw, the plugin fails to properly validate the user\u2019s authorization, allowing the attacker to perform actions they should not be permitted to execute.<\/p>\n

Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is a conceptual example of how this vulnerability might be exploited:<\/p>\n

POST \/wp-lead-capturing-pages\/function HTTP\/1.1\nHost: vulnerable-website.com\nContent-Type: application\/json\n{ \"malicious_payload\": \"Exploit Code\" }<\/code><\/pre>\n
In this example, the attacker sends a POST request to a restricted function of the plugin. The malicious payload (“Exploit Code”) is executed because the plugin fails to properly check the user’s authorization level.<\/p>\n
Mitigation<\/strong><\/p>\n
Website owners and administrators are advised to apply the latest patches provided by the vendor as soon as they become available. In the meantime, it’s recommended to use Web Application Firewalls (WAF) or Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) as temporary mitigation methods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
