Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
A WordPress site using RegistrationMagic 5.1.9.2 or earlier may let an attacker trick a logged-in user into making unintended plugin-related changes. The issue is medium severity because it requires user interaction and has limited integrity and availability impact, but it still matters for public sites with administrator sessions.
Executive priority
Treat this as a scheduled remediation item, not an emergency, unless the plugin is used on high-value public WordPress sites with frequent administrator activity.
Technical view
CVE-2023-25991 is a CWE-352 CSRF vulnerability in the RegistrationMagic WordPress plugin through version 5.1.9.2. The CVSS 3.1 score is 5.4 with network attack vector, low complexity, no attacker privileges, and required user interaction. Source data does not name a fixed version or specific vulnerable action.
Likely exposure
Exposure is most likely on WordPress sites running the RegistrationMagic plugin package custom-registration-form-builder-with-submission-manager at version 5.1.9.2 or earlier.
Exploitation context
The bundle does not cite active exploitation, and KEV is false. Exploitation would require a targeted user interaction from someone with an authenticated browser session. The public data provided does not describe the exact affected requests or impact path.
Researcher notes
Evidence is limited to the CVE record, CVE List JSON, and Patchstack entry. The provided bundle confirms CSRF, affected versions through 5.1.9.2, CVSS 5.4, and CWE-352, but not a fixed version, vulnerable endpoint, exploit availability, or observed attacks.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for RegistrationMagic plugin usage.
- Check installed versions against 5.1.9.2 or earlier.
- Review vendor or Patchstack guidance for a fixed release.
- Update the plugin if a fixed version is available.
- Disable the plugin where it is not business-critical.
- Remind administrators not to follow untrusted links while logged in.
Validation and detection
- Confirm the plugin package name on each WordPress instance.
- Record the installed RegistrationMagic version from WordPress administration or asset inventory.
- Check whether the site uses RegistrationMagic registration or login forms.
- Verify whether compensating controls limit administrator exposure.
- Document remediation status and any vendor guidance found.

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
