WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

The CVE-2025-48147 is a Missing Authorization vulnerability affecting CryptoCloud - Crypto Payment Gateway WordPress plugin versions through 2.1.2. The vulnerability was discovered by security researcher ch4r0n on April 18, 2025, and was officially published by Patchstack on May 22, 2025 (Patchstack Database).

The vulnerability is classified as a Missing Authorization (CWE-862) issue that allows exploiting incorrectly configured access control security levels. It received a CVSS v3.1 Base Score of 6.5 (Medium) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L. The vulnerability is characterized as a broken access control issue, which refers to a missing authorization, authentication, or nonce token check in a function that could allow an unprivileged user to execute certain higher privileged actions (Wiz).

The vulnerability has been assessed as moderately dangerous and is expected to become exploited. It affects both the integrity and availability of the system, though there is no direct impact on confidentiality. The software is considered likely abandoned as it hasn't been updated for over a year, increasing the potential risk to affected systems (Patchstack Database).

As there is no official fix available, the recommended mitigation strategy is to remove and replace the software immediately. Note that merely deactivating the software does not remove the security threat unless a virtual patch is deployed (Patchstack Database).
