CVE-2025-66162

Vulnerability

Overview CVE-2025-66162 is a missing authorization vulnerability in the Spoter for Elementor WordPress plugin, affecting versions from n/a through 1.04. The plugin fails to properly enforce access control checks, allowing exploitation of incorrectly configured access control security levels [1].

Exploitation

An attacker can exploit this broken access control issue without requiring authentication or elevated privileges. The vulnerability is particularly dangerous because the plugin lacks necessary authorization or nonce token checks in certain functions, enabling unprivileged users to execute higher-privileged actions [1].

Impact

Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to perform unauthorized actions within the WordPress site, potentially leading to data modification or privilege escalation. The vulnerability is noted as being used in mass-exploit campaigns targeting thousands of websites regardless of size or popularity [1].

Mitigation

The vendor has not released a patched version; users are advised to update the plugin immediately if a fix becomes available. As a workaround, users should contact their hosting provider or web developer for assistance in securing the site [1].
