An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-62973 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Themekraft BuddyForms. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-62973/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-62973/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-62973","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-62973/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-62973","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hg8r-q6jx-8pfj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can access restricted functionality in the BuddyForms WordPress plugin due to missing authorization checks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"buddyforms","vendor":"themekraft"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"Missing Authorization vulnerability in Themekraft BuddyForms buddyforms allows Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs.This issue affects BuddyForms: from n/a through 2.10.2.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress BuddyForms plugin \u003c= 2.10.2 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-62973","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress Headline Analyzer plugin \u003c= 1.3.7 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-62974"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress WebinarPress plugin \u003c= 1.33.28 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-62972"},"products":["BuddyForms"],"published":"2025-10-27","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Deserialization in BuddyForms WordPress Plugin","id":"CVE-2023-26326","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-23"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-21003","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-27"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Post Form – Registration Form – Profile Form for User Profiles – Frontend Content Forms for User Submissions (UGC)","id":"CVE-2024-8246","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-14"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"WordPress buddyforms plugin \u003c= 2.8.8- Arbitrary File Read and SSRF vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-32830","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-17"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"WordPress BuddyForms plugin \u003c= 2.10.2 - Local File Inclusion vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-32151","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-04-04"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"BuddyForms \u003c= 2.8.9 - Email Verification Bypass due to Insufficient Randomness","id":"CVE-2024-5149","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-05"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Post Form – Registration Form – Profile Form for User Profiles – Frontend Content Forms for User Submissions (UGC)","id":"CVE-2024-12038","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-02-22"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-07","vendors":["Themekraft"]},"summary":"An attacker can access restricted functionality in the BuddyForms WordPress plugin due to missing authorization checks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-62973/"}
