CVE-2025-62084

Vulnerability

Overview

CVE-2025-62084 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability affecting the iNext Woo Pincode Checker plugin for WordPress, versions up to and including 2.3.1. The plugin fails to implement proper CSRF protections, allowing attackers to forge requests on behalf of authenticated, higher-privileged users. This issue arises from missing or insufficient nonce validation in the plugin's administrative functions [1].

Exploitation

Exploitation requires user interaction: a privileged user must be tricked into clicking a malicious link, visiting a crafted page, or submitting a specially designed form. The attacker does not need direct access to the WordPress admin area; instead, they leverage the victim's existing session to perform unauthorized actions. No authentication is required from the attacker beyond the ability to craft and deliver the malicious payload [1].

Impact

Successful exploitation allows an attacker to force a logged-in administrator or other privileged user to execute unwanted actions under their current authentication. This could include changing plugin settings, deleting data, or performing other configuration changes within the scope of the user's permissions. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.3 (Medium), with the vector indicating low attack complexity and no privileges required from the attacker [1].

Mitigation

Users should immediately update the iNext Woo Pincode Checker plugin to a patched version if available. For those unable to update, contacting the hosting provider or web developer for assistance is recommended. The vendor has not released a fix. Site administrators should also consider implementing Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules that detect and block CSRF attempts, and educate users with high privileges about the risks of clicking unsolicited links or submitting unknown forms.
