CVE-2025-68547: 
WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

CVE-2025-68547 is a Missing Authorization vulnerability in the WPweb "Follow My Blog Post" WordPress plugin that allows unauthenticated attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels, resulting in arbitrary content deletion. It affects all versions of the plugin through 2.4.0 (fixed in 2.4.1). The vulnerability was published on January 5, 2026, by Patchstack. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (High) (Patchstack, NVD).

The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), meaning the plugin fails to properly verify whether a requesting user has the necessary permissions before performing sensitive operations. This allows unauthenticated network-based attackers (no privileges or user interaction required) to trigger content deletion actions that should be restricted to authorized users. The vulnerability is classified under the "Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels" attack pattern, indicating that certain plugin endpoints or AJAX actions lack proper capability checks before executing privileged operations (NVD, Patchstack).

Successful exploitation allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to arbitrarily delete content on affected WordPress sites running the vulnerable plugin. The primary impact is on integrity and availability — attackers can destroy blog posts or other managed content without any credentials, potentially causing significant data loss and site disruption. There is no reported confidentiality impact, but mass content deletion could render a site inoperable and require restoration from backups (NVD).

No public proof-of-concept exploit code or evidence of active in-the-wild exploitation has been reported for CVE-2025-68547. The EPSS score is approximately 0.041%, indicating a low probability of exploitation in the near term. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. No threat actor attribution has been identified (Feedly).

Users should update the "Follow My Blog Post" WordPress plugin to version 2.4.1 or later, which addresses the missing authorization checks. If an immediate update is not possible, site administrators should consider temporarily deactivating the plugin until patching is feasible. Restricting access to WordPress admin and plugin endpoints via web application firewall (WAF) rules can provide additional defense-in-depth (NVD, Patchstack).
