Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2025-62104 is a broken access control issue in the WordPress ACF Galerie 4 plugin through version 1.4.2. A logged-in user may be able to perform actions that should require higher authorization. Public data rates it medium severity. There is no evidence in the provided sources of active exploitation.
Executive priority
Treat as a routine but timely WordPress plugin remediation item. Prioritize sites with many user accounts, contributor access, or sensitive publishing workflows. It is not currently supported by sources as actively exploited or business-critical by itself.
Technical view
The issue is CWE-862 Missing Authorization in Navneil Naicker ACF Galerie 4, package acf-galerie-4, affecting versions through 1.4.2. CVSS 3.1 is 4.3: network exploitable, low complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, limited integrity impact, no confidentiality or availability impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to WordPress sites with ACF Galerie 4 installed at version 1.4.2 or earlier. The attacker needs an authenticated account, reducing risk compared with unauthenticated WordPress flaws.
Exploitation context
The CVSS vector indicates exploitation requires network access and low privileges, with no user interaction. The expected impact is unauthorized modification or action with limited integrity impact. The source bundle does not include exploit details, public exploit status, or observed exploitation.
Researcher notes
Public evidence is sparse. The record identifies missing authorization and a medium CVSS score but does not describe affected endpoints, exact unauthorized actions, proof of concept, or a fixed release. Avoid assuming broader impact without vendor details.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for the acf-galerie-4 plugin.
- Identify installations running ACF Galerie 4 version 1.4.2 or earlier.
- Check vendor or Patchstack guidance for a fixed version or recommended workaround.
- If no fix is available, consider disabling the plugin where business impact allows.
- Limit WordPress accounts and roles to only users who require access.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether ACF Galerie 4 is installed on each WordPress site.
- Record the installed plugin version and compare it to 1.4.2.
- Review WordPress user accounts for unnecessary low-privilege access.
- Monitor vendor, CVE, and Patchstack pages for remediation updates.
- Check change management records for plugin removal, update, or compensating controls.
