Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
This is a CSRF flaw in the WordPress DN Footer Contacts plugin. A logged-in site administrator could be tricked into causing an unintended low-impact change if they visit attacker-controlled content. The sources do not describe data theft, service outage, or active exploitation.
Executive priority
Handle during the next routine WordPress maintenance cycle unless the plugin manages sensitive business content or high-trust public contact workflows. Prioritize inventory first because impact appears limited but depends on plugin deployment.
Technical view
CVE-2025-31839 is CWE-352 in digireturn DN Footer Contacts, package dn-footer-contacts, affecting versions through 1.8.1 per the CVE description. CVSS 3.1 is 4.3: network reachable, low complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, low integrity impact only.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to WordPress sites that have the DN Footer Contacts plugin installed at an affected version. Sites without this plugin are not indicated as affected by the provided sources.
Exploitation context
The bundle does not report known exploitation, and KEV status is false. Exploitation requires user interaction, likely involving a privileged WordPress user being induced to perform an unintended request.
Researcher notes
Source detail is sparse: the public bundle names CSRF, affected plugin, CVSS vector, and Patchstack reference, but does not describe the exact vulnerable action or a named fixed version. Avoid assuming exploitability beyond low integrity impact and required user interaction.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for the DN Footer Contacts plugin.
- Check vendor or Patchstack guidance for a fixed version or official workaround.
- Update the plugin if a maintained fixed release is available.
- Disable or remove the plugin where it is not business-critical.
- Restrict administrative access and reinforce anti-phishing controls for WordPress administrators.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether dn-footer-contacts is installed on each WordPress site.
- Record installed plugin versions and flag versions through 1.8.1.
- Review available WordPress logs for unexpected plugin-related changes.
- Verify vendor guidance before marking remediation complete.

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.
