CVE-2025-25145: Infusionsoft Analytics CSRF Vulnerability

CVE-2025-25145 Overview

CVE-2025-25145 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability affecting the infusionsoft-web-tracker plugin, published as Infusionsoft Analytics by jordan.hatch. The flaw impacts all versions up to and including 2.0. An attacker can trick an authenticated user into submitting a forged HTTP request that performs unintended state-changing actions within the plugin. Successful exploitation requires user interaction, typically through a crafted link or embedded page. The issue is tracked under CWE-352: Cross-Site Request Forgery.

Critical Impact
Attackers can leverage authenticated victim sessions to perform unauthorized plugin actions, resulting in limited integrity and availability impact on affected WordPress sites.

Affected Products

jordan.hatch Infusionsoft Analytics (infusionsoft-web-tracker) WordPress plugin
All versions from n/a through 2.0
WordPress installations running the vulnerable plugin

Technical Details for CVE-2025-25145

Vulnerability Analysis

The Infusionsoft Analytics plugin fails to validate the origin of state-changing HTTP requests. Because WordPress plugins commonly rely on nonces to guard sensitive actions, the absence of proper nonce verification allows an attacker's forged request to be processed as if it came from the authenticated user. An attacker hosts a malicious page or link that, when visited by an authenticated administrator, triggers an unauthorized action within the plugin. The EPSS probability is 0.151%, placing exploitation likelihood in the low percentile range. No public proof-of-concept or in-the-wild exploitation has been reported.

Root Cause

The root cause is missing or improperly implemented anti-CSRF tokens on plugin request handlers. Without nonce validation via WordPress functions such as wp_verify_nonce() or check_admin_referer(), the plugin cannot distinguish legitimate user actions from forged cross-origin requests. This is a classic [CWE-352] weakness.

Attack Vector

Exploitation occurs over the network and requires user interaction. An attacker crafts a webpage containing an HTML form, image tag, or JavaScript that auto-submits a request to a vulnerable plugin endpoint. When an authenticated administrator visits the attacker-controlled resource, the browser sends the victim's session cookies with the forged request, causing the plugin to execute the attacker-chosen action. See the Patchstack CSRF Vulnerability Report for advisory details.

No verified exploit code is publicly available. The vulnerability is described in prose above rather than illustrated with synthetic exploit examples.

Detection Methods for CVE-2025-25145

Indicators of Compromise

Unexpected configuration or settings changes within the Infusionsoft Analytics plugin admin pages.
HTTP requests to plugin endpoints with Referer headers pointing to external, untrusted domains.
Administrator sessions performing plugin actions immediately after visiting third-party sites or clicking external links.

Detection Strategies

Review web server access logs for POST or GET requests to plugin admin endpoints lacking a valid _wpnonce parameter.
Correlate administrator browsing history with plugin state changes to identify potential CSRF triggering.
Monitor WordPress audit logs for unauthorized plugin configuration modifications.

Monitoring Recommendations

Enable a WordPress audit logging plugin to record plugin setting changes with user, IP, and referrer context.
Deploy a Web Application Firewall (WAF) rule set that inspects Referer and Origin headers on WordPress admin requests.
Alert on administrator activity originating from anomalous referrers or outside expected working hours.

How to Mitigate CVE-2025-25145

Immediate Actions Required

Deactivate the Infusionsoft Analytics plugin until a patched version is released by the maintainer.
Restrict WordPress administrator access to trusted networks or via VPN to reduce exposure to forged requests.
Instruct administrators to log out of WordPress before browsing unrelated web content.

Patch Information

At the time of publication, no fixed version has been identified for the infusionsoft-web-tracker plugin. The vulnerability affects all versions through 2.0. Monitor the Patchstack advisory for updates on remediation availability.

Workarounds

Remove the plugin from production WordPress sites where it is not strictly required.
Deploy a WAF rule to block requests to plugin endpoints that lack valid _wpnonce tokens or contain suspicious Referer values.
Enforce SameSite cookie attributes at the WordPress or reverse-proxy layer to limit cross-site cookie transmission.
Require administrators to use dedicated browser profiles for WordPress management.

bash

# Example: NGINX rule to block cross-origin POSTs to WordPress admin endpoints
map $http_referer $csrf_block {
    default 1;
    "~*^https?://your-wordpress-domain\.com" 0;
}

server {
    location ~ ^/wp-admin/ {
        if ($request_method = POST) {
            if ($csrf_block) { return 403; }
        }
    }
