CVE-2025-53327

Vulnerability

Description The Aioseo Multibyte Descriptions plugin for WordPress versions through 0.0.6 contains a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability. This flaw arises from insufficient validation of request origins, enabling an attacker to craft malicious requests that are executed by an authenticated user without their consent [1].

Exploitation

To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must trick a privileged user into performing an action such as clicking a malicious link or submitting a crafted form. The attack does not require direct network access to the target site but relies on social engineering to initiate the request under the victim's authenticated session [1].

Impact

Successful exploitation allows the attacker to force the victim to perform unintended actions within the plugin's context, potentially leading to unauthorized modifications of settings or content. The CVSS v3 score is 4.3 (Medium), indicating limited impact on confidentiality or availability but significant risk to integrity [1].

Mitigation

The vulnerability affects plugin versions up to 0.0.6. Users are urged to update to a patched version immediately. If an update is unavailable, site administrators should consider temporarily disabling the plugin or implementing additional CSRF protections such as nonce-based validation [1].
