CVE-2025-47609

Vulnerability

Overview

The EasyMe Connect WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 3.0.3) contains a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability. This flaw arises because the plugin fails to validate or verify the origin of requests made by authenticated users, allowing an attacker to craft malicious requests that are executed under the identity of a higher-privileged user [1].

Exploitation

Requirements

Exploitation requires user interaction: a privileged user (such as an administrator) must be tricked into clicking a malicious link, visiting a crafted page, or submitting a specially designed form. The attacker does not need to be authenticated but relies on the victim's active session to send unauthorized requests [1].

Potential

Impact

If successfully exploited, an attacker can force the victim to perform unintended actions within the plugin's context while maintaining the victim's current authentication state. This could lead to unauthorized changes, data modification, or other actions depending on the plugin's capabilities. The CVSS score of 4.3 (Medium) reflects the need for user interaction and the limited direct confidentiality or availability impact [1].

Mitigation

The vulnerability is patched in version 3.0.4. Users are strongly advised to update to this version immediately. For sites that cannot update, additional measures such as implementing custom CSRF tokens or using web application firewalls should be considered. Patchstack users can enable auto-update for this plugin [1].
