Overview
CVE-2025-66110 describes a missing authorization vulnerability discovered in the bPlugins Tiktok Feed plugin for WordPress. This vulnerability, affecting versions up to and including 1.0.22, allows attackers to potentially exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels. This could lead to unauthorized access and modification of plugin settings or data.
Technical Details
The vulnerability stems from a lack of proper authorization checks within the plugin’s code. Specifically, certain functions or endpoints responsible for managing the TikTok feed configuration do not adequately verify the user’s permissions before executing privileged operations. This allows an attacker, possibly with lower-level privileges or even without authentication, to bypass intended access controls and perform actions they shouldn’t be authorized to do. Detailed analysis and proof of concept can be found in the referenced Patchstack report.
CVSS Analysis
Currently, the CVSS score is listed as N/A, and the severity is also listed as N/A. This likely means that a full CVSS score has not yet been calculated or published at the time of this writing. However, based on the description of a missing authorization vulnerability leading to potential access control bypass, it’s reasonable to anticipate a potentially high severity score once a CVSS evaluation is completed, depending on the scope of access granted and exploitability.
Possible Impact
The impact of this vulnerability could be significant:
- Unauthorized Modification: Attackers could modify the TikTok feed settings, potentially injecting malicious content or redirecting users to phishing sites.
- Data Exposure: Depending on the scope of the affected functions, sensitive data related to the plugin configuration might be exposed.
- Website Defacement: By manipulating the TikTok feed, an attacker could deface the website’s front-end, damaging the site’s reputation.
- Privilege Escalation: In some scenarios, exploiting this vulnerability could potentially lead to further privilege escalation within the WordPress installation.
Mitigation or Patch Steps
The recommended mitigation is to update the bPlugins Tiktok Feed plugin to the latest version as soon as a patched version is released by the plugin developers. Check the WordPress plugin repository or the bPlugins website for updates. Until a patch is available, consider temporarily disabling the plugin if the risk outweighs the benefits. Monitor the Patchstack vulnerability database for updates and release information.
Steps to take:
- Check your Plugin Version: Verify that you are running a version of the bPlugins Tiktok Feed plugin that is affected (<= 1.0.22).
- Update the Plugin: If a patched version is available, update immediately through the WordPress dashboard.
- Monitor for Updates: Keep an eye on the WordPress plugin repository and the Patchstack database for announcements.
- Disable if Necessary: If an immediate update isn’t possible, consider temporarily disabling the plugin.
