CVE-2025-64263
WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

CVE-2025-64263 is a Missing Authorization vulnerability in the PluginEver WP Content Pilot WordPress plugin that allows authenticated attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels. It affects WP Content Pilot versions from n/a through 2.1.7. The vulnerability was published on November 13, 2025, and was assigned by Patchstack. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.4 (Medium) (Feedly, ENISA EUVD).

Technical details

The vulnerability is classified as CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), meaning the plugin fails to properly verify that an authenticated user has the appropriate permissions before performing sensitive operations. An attacker with low-level authenticated access (e.g., a subscriber-level WordPress account) can send network requests to trigger restricted functionality without proper capability checks. The attack requires no user interaction and has low complexity, making it straightforward to exploit once an attacker has any valid WordPress account on the target site (Feedly, ENISA EUVD).

Impact

Successful exploitation results in limited but meaningful unauthorized access: attackers can achieve low-impact confidentiality breaches (e.g., reading restricted content or settings) and low-impact integrity violations (e.g., modifying plugin data or configurations) on the affected WordPress site. Availability is not impacted. The scope is unchanged, meaning exploitation is confined to the vulnerable component and does not directly enable lateral movement to other systems, though unauthorized configuration changes could facilitate further attacks (Feedly).

Exploitability

No public proof-of-concept exploit code or evidence of in-the-wild exploitation has been reported for CVE-2025-64263. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. The EPSS score is approximately 0.017% (0.000170), indicating a very low probability of exploitation in the near term. The vulnerability requires low-privilege authentication, which somewhat limits opportunistic exploitation compared to unauthenticated flaws (Feedly, ENISA EUVD).

Mitigation and workarounds

Users should update the WP Content Pilot plugin to a version beyond 2.1.7 that addresses the missing authorization checks. As of the disclosure date, the fix was coordinated through Patchstack; site administrators should check the WordPress plugin repository for the latest patched release. If an immediate update is not possible, consider restricting user registration on the WordPress site or using a web application firewall (WAF) rule to block unauthorized access to the plugin's sensitive endpoints (Feedly, ENISA EUVD).
