Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2025-31572 is a CSRF issue in a WordPress calendar plugin. A tricked logged-in site user could cause an unintended low-impact change. Sources rate it medium with CVSS 4.3, mainly because user interaction is required and no confidentiality or availability impact is listed.
Executive priority
Treat this as a moderate-priority WordPress plugin hygiene issue. It does not indicate data theft or service outage, but affected public sites should be reviewed because CSRF can enable unauthorized content or configuration changes through a logged-in user.
Technical view
The issue is CWE-352 in v20202020 Multi Days Events and Multi Events in One Day Calendar, package dragon-calendar-free-version, affecting versions through 1.1.3. CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N indicates network reachability, low attack complexity, required user interaction, and low integrity impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to WordPress sites running the affected plugin at version 1.1.3 or earlier. Sites without this plugin, or using versions outside the cited affected range, are not indicated as affected by the provided sources.
Exploitation context
The source bundle does not report active exploitation, and the CVE is not listed as KEV. The vulnerability type requires user interaction, consistent with a CSRF scenario where a legitimate user is induced to trigger an unintended action.
Researcher notes
Evidence is limited to the CVE metadata and Patchstack reference. The public bundle identifies the vulnerability class, affected range, and CVSS vector, but does not provide endpoint details, proof of exploitation, or a named fixed version.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for the dragon-calendar-free-version plugin.
- Update to a vendor-supported fixed version if one is available.
- If no fix is available, disable or remove the plugin pending vendor guidance.
- Limit privileged WordPress sessions to trusted devices and networks.
- Tell administrators to avoid untrusted links while logged in.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether the plugin is installed on each WordPress site.
- Record the installed plugin version and compare it to <= 1.1.3.
- Review Patchstack, CVE, and vendor channels for current remediation guidance.
- Check calendar or event records for unexpected recent changes.
- Document any exposed site still running an affected version.

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.
