CVE-2025-52767

Vulnerability

Description The NetInsight Analytics Implementation Plugin for WordPress contains a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in versions up to and including 1.0.3 [1]. The root cause is a missing or insufficient anti-CSRF token validation, which allows an attacker to trick a privileged user into performing unintended actions without their consent.

Exploitation

Method To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must convince a logged-in administrator to visit a malicious link, a crafted page, or submit a specially designed form while the administrator's session is active [1]. This is a classic CSRF attack scenario, which relies on the victim's browser automatically sending their session cookies with the forged request.

Impact

If successfully exploited, this CSRF vulnerability could allow an attacker to force the administrator to execute unwanted actions under their current authentication, such as changing plugin settings or performing unauthorized operations within the WordPress instance [1]. The CVSS score of 4.3 reflects a medium severity due to the requirement for user interaction and the need for a privileged user to be tricked [1].

Mitigation

Patchstack recommends immediate updating of the plugin as the primary mitigation [1]. Administrators who cannot update should consult with their hosting provider or web developer for alternative security measures. The vulnerability has a low complexity and does not require special privileges for the attacker beyond crafting a malicious request.
