CVE-2025-69022

Vulnerability

Overview CVE-2025-69022 describes a Missing Authorization vulnerability in the HR Management Lite WordPress plugin by Weblizar, affecting versions up to and including 3.6. The plugin fails to properly enforce access control checks on certain functions, allowing incorrectly configured access control security levels to be exploited [1].

Exploitation

Details Exploitation requires a low-privileged user (e.g., subscriber) to craft a malicious link or form that, when interacted with by an administrator, triggers an unauthorized action. The vulnerability is classified as a broken access control issue and involves both missing capability checks and potential absence of nonce verification, making it possible to trick privileged users into performing actions they did not intend [1].

Impact

Successful exploitation enables an attacker to perform administrative actions within the plugin, such as modifying settings or data, depending on the vulnerable functionality. This can lead to partial compromise of the site's HR management module, though full site takeover is not guaranteed [1].

Mitigation

The recommended action is to update the HR Management Lite plugin to the latest patched version. If updating is not possible, consult your hosting provider or web developer for alternative solutions. The vulnerability is known to be used in mass-exploit campaigns, so immediate remediation is advised [1].
