Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2025-32275 affects the WordPress Survey Maker plugin. It is an authentication-bypass-by-spoofing issue that may let an attacker impersonate identity in a limited way. The published severity is medium, with low integrity impact and no stated confidentiality or availability impact.
Executive priority
Treat this as a moderate-priority WordPress plugin issue. It does not indicate broad system compromise, but public-facing WordPress plugins are common attack targets, and spoofing-related integrity issues can affect trust in survey workflows.
Technical view
Sources identify CWE-290 in Ays Pro Survey Maker, package survey-maker, affecting versions through 5.1.6.3. CVSS 3.1 is 4.3: network reachable, low complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, unchanged scope, low integrity impact only.
Likely exposure
Exposure is likely limited to WordPress sites that have the Survey Maker plugin installed at version 5.1.6.3 or earlier. The source bundle does not identify other affected products or a confirmed fixed version.
Exploitation context
The CVE is not listed as KEV, and the provided sources do not state active exploitation. The CVSS vector indicates remote reachability and no required privileges, but user interaction is required and impact is limited to integrity.
Researcher notes
Evidence is sparse. The bundle names authentication bypass by spoofing and CWE-290 but does not provide root-cause detail, exploitation prerequisites beyond CVSS, proof of exploitation, or a fixed version. Avoid assuming exploitability beyond the published vector.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites using Survey Maker and identify versions 5.1.6.3 or earlier.
- Check the vendor and Patchstack entry for a confirmed fixed release or official mitigation.
- Update Survey Maker when a vendor-confirmed fixed version is available.
- Disable or remove the plugin where it is not business required.
- Review WordPress access controls and plugin change-management approvals.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether the Survey Maker plugin is installed on each WordPress site.
- Record the installed plugin version and compare it against affected versions through 5.1.6.3.
- Review Patchstack and vendor guidance for patch status before closing remediation.
- Check logs or application records for unexpected survey identity or integrity changes.

Authentication Bypass by Spoofing
Authentication Bypass by Spoofing represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
