CVE-2025-30619 Overview
CVE-2025-30619 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability [CWE-352] affecting the SpeakPipe Voicemail for Websites WordPress plugin. The flaw impacts all versions up to and including 0.2. An attacker can trick an authenticated user into performing unintended state-changing actions by luring them to a malicious page or link. Because the attack requires user interaction, exploitation depends on social engineering to be effective. Successful abuse can result in limited integrity and availability impact on the affected WordPress site.
Critical Impact
An attacker can force an authenticated WordPress user to submit forged requests to the SpeakPipe plugin, altering plugin state without the user's consent.
Affected Products
- SpeakPipe Voicemail for Websites WordPress plugin
- Versions from n/a through 0.2
- WordPress installations with the plugin enabled

Technical Details for CVE-2025-30619
Vulnerability Analysis
The vulnerability is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) issue classified under [CWE-352]. The plugin fails to validate the origin or authenticity of state-changing HTTP requests. As a result, requests submitted by an authenticated user's browser are processed even when they originate from an attacker-controlled context. The attack is network-exploitable and requires user interaction, with limited impact on integrity and availability. Confidentiality is not affected because the vulnerability does not expose data directly. Exploitation requires no privileges on the target site since the attacker abuses the victim's existing authenticated session.
Root Cause
The root cause is the absence or improper implementation of anti-CSRF protections in the SpeakPipe plugin's request-handling logic. WordPress plugins are expected to validate requests using nonces via functions such as wp_verify_nonce() and check_admin_referer(). When these checks are missing or bypassable, any authenticated request originating from the user's browser is treated as legitimate, regardless of the referring origin.
Attack Vector
The attack vector is network-based and requires the victim to interact with attacker-controlled content. A typical exploitation chain involves an attacker hosting a crafted HTML page containing a hidden form or image tag that auto-submits a request to the vulnerable plugin endpoint. If a WordPress administrator or authenticated user visits the page while logged in, the browser attaches session cookies and executes the forged request. The plugin then processes the action as though it were legitimate. See the Patchstack Vulnerability Report for additional technical detail.
Detection Methods for CVE-2025-30619
Indicators of Compromise
- Unexpected changes to SpeakPipe plugin configuration or settings within the WordPress admin panel.
- HTTP POST requests to plugin endpoints with Referer headers pointing to external, untrusted domains.
- Administrative actions logged shortly after an authenticated user visited an unfamiliar external URL.
Detection Strategies
- Monitor WordPress access logs for state-changing requests to SpeakPipe plugin endpoints lacking a same-origin Referer or Origin header.
- Deploy a web application firewall rule that inspects requests for missing or invalid CSRF tokens on plugin admin actions.
- Correlate administrator browsing activity with plugin configuration changes to identify request patterns indicative of forged submissions.
Monitoring Recommendations
- Enable WordPress audit logging to capture plugin setting modifications and administrator actions.
- Alert on outbound requests from administrator browsers to newly registered or low-reputation domains during active admin sessions.
- Track plugin version inventory across all WordPress sites to identify installations still running version 0.2 or earlier.
How to Mitigate CVE-2025-30619
Immediate Actions Required
- Identify all WordPress installations running the SpeakPipe Voicemail for Websites plugin at version 0.2 or earlier.
- Deactivate the plugin until a patched version is confirmed available from the vendor.
- Enforce administrator session hygiene by requiring log-out from the WordPress admin panel when not actively managing the site.
Patch Information
At the time of publication, no fixed version beyond 0.2 is listed in the available advisory. Refer to the Patchstack Vulnerability Report for updated remediation guidance and monitor the plugin's official distribution channel for a security release.
Workarounds
- Remove or replace the SpeakPipe plugin with an alternative solution that implements CSRF protections.
- Restrict administrator access to the WordPress dashboard using IP allow-listing at the web server or firewall level.
- Deploy a web application firewall with CSRF protection rules that validate the Origin and Referer headers on plugin admin requests.
- Require administrators to use browser profiles or containers dedicated to WordPress administration to reduce cross-site attack surface.
# Configuration example: disable the plugin via WP-CLI until a patch is available
wp plugin deactivate speakpipe-voicemail-for-websites
wp plugin status speakpipe-voicemail-for-websites
