CVE-2025-62131: 
WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

CVE-2025-62131 is a Missing Authorization vulnerability in the Strategy11 Team Tasty Recipes Lite WordPress plugin that allows authenticated low-privileged attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels. It affects all versions of the plugin through 1.1.5. The CVE was published on December 31, 2025, and assigned by Patchstack. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 4.3 (Medium) (Patchstack, NVD).

The vulnerability is classified as CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), meaning the plugin fails to properly verify whether an authenticated user has the appropriate permissions before allowing access to certain functionality. An attacker with a low-privileged account (e.g., a subscriber or contributor role on a WordPress site) can send network requests to exploit misconfigured access control checks within the plugin, resulting in unauthorized data modification. No user interaction is required, and attack complexity is low. No public technical write-up or proof-of-concept code has been identified at this time (NVD, Patchstack).

Successful exploitation allows a low-privileged authenticated attacker to modify application data on affected WordPress sites running Tasty Recipes Lite ≤ 1.1.5. The impact is limited to integrity — there is no confidentiality or availability impact per the CVSS assessment. While the scope is constrained to the plugin's functionality, unauthorized data modification could allow manipulation of recipe content or plugin settings on affected sites (NVD, Feedly).

No public proof-of-concept exploit code or evidence of in-the-wild exploitation has been identified for CVE-2025-62131. The EPSS score is approximately 0.026%, indicating a very low probability of exploitation in the near term. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. Exploitation requires a valid low-privileged account on the target WordPress site, limiting the attacker pool (NVD, Feedly).

WordPress site administrators should update the Tasty Recipes Lite plugin to a version beyond 1.1.5 if a patched release is available from Strategy11 Team. If no patched version is yet available, the recommended workaround is to deactivate and remove the plugin until a fix is released. Access to WordPress sites should be restricted to trusted users, and the principle of least privilege should be enforced for all accounts (Patchstack, NVD).
