CVE-2025-69028: 
WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

CVE-2025-69028 is a Missing Authorization vulnerability in the BoldGrid weForms WordPress plugin that allows unauthenticated attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels. It affects weForms versions from n/a through 1.6.25. The vulnerability was published on December 30, 2025, and was assigned by Patchstack. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.3 (Medium) (Feedly, Patchstack).

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 performing certain actions. Because no authentication or privilege check is enforced on the affected functionality, a remote, unauthenticated attacker can send crafted network requests to trigger restricted operations. The attack complexity is low, requires no user interaction, and no privileges are needed, making it straightforward to exploit over the network (Feedly).

Successful exploitation results in a limited integrity impact — attackers can perform unauthorized actions within the plugin's access-controlled functionality without any confidentiality or availability impact. The scope is unchanged, meaning exploitation is confined to the vulnerable component and does not directly enable lateral movement or data exfiltration. However, depending on what actions are exposed without authorization, attackers could manipulate form configurations or data managed by the weForms plugin on affected WordPress sites (Feedly).

No public proof-of-concept exploit code or evidence of active in-the-wild exploitation has been reported for CVE-2025-69028 as of the available data. The EPSS score is approximately 0.017%, indicating a very low probability of exploitation in the near term. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, and no threat actor attribution has been identified (Feedly).

Users should update the weForms WordPress plugin to a version beyond 1.6.25 as soon as a patched release is made available by BoldGrid. In the interim, site administrators can consider disabling the plugin if it is not critical to operations, or restricting access to the WordPress site via network-level controls (e.g., IP allowlisting for the admin panel). Monitoring plugin activity logs for unexpected or unauthorized form-related actions is also advisable (Feedly, Patchstack).
