CVE-2025-62129: 
WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

CVE-2025-62129 is a Missing Authorization vulnerability in the Magnigenie RestroPress WordPress plugin that allows unauthenticated network attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels. The vulnerability was first published on December 31, 2025, and initially affected versions through 3.2.4.2; the scope was later updated to include all versions through 3.2.7 as of April 2026. It was assigned and reported by Patchstack, with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.3 (Medium) (Patchstack).

Technical details

The root cause is classified as CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), meaning the plugin fails to properly verify whether a requesting user has the necessary permissions before granting access to certain functionality or data. Because no authentication or privilege check is enforced on the affected endpoints, any unauthenticated remote attacker can send crafted network requests to access restricted application data. The attack vector is network-based, requires no user interaction, low attack complexity, and no privileges, making it trivially exploitable against any exposed WordPress installation running a vulnerable version of RestroPress (Patchstack).

Impact

Successful exploitation results in unauthorized read access to sensitive application data, representing a confidentiality breach with no impact on integrity or availability. An unauthenticated attacker could access information that should be restricted to authorized users, such as order details, customer data, or other restaurant management information stored by the RestroPress plugin. While the CVSS score reflects a limited (low) confidentiality impact, the lack of any authentication requirement means the vulnerability is broadly exploitable across all affected WordPress sites (Patchstack).

Exploitability

No public proof-of-concept exploit code or evidence of active in-the-wild exploitation has been reported for CVE-2025-62129. The EPSS score is approximately 0.028%, indicating a very low probability of exploitation in the near term. The vulnerability has not been added to the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, and no threat actor attribution has been identified (Feedly).

Mitigation and workarounds

Users should update the RestroPress WordPress plugin to a version beyond 3.2.7, as all versions up to and including 3.2.7 are confirmed vulnerable. Site administrators should verify the installed plugin version via the WordPress dashboard and apply any available updates from the plugin repository immediately. If no patched version is yet available, consider temporarily deactivating the plugin until a fix is released, and restrict access to the WordPress site using a web application firewall (WAF) to limit exposure (Patchstack).
