CVE-2025-39394: AnalyticsWP Information Disclosure Flaw

CVE-2025-39394 Overview

CVE-2025-39394 is a sensitive information disclosure vulnerability in the Solid Plugins AnalyticsWP plugin for WordPress. The flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to retrieve embedded sensitive data from the plugin over the network. It is classified under [CWE-497]: Exposure of Sensitive System Information to an Unauthorized Control Sphere. The vulnerability affects all AnalyticsWP versions up to and including 2.1.2. Exploitation requires no privileges and no user interaction, and it can be triggered remotely. While the confidentiality impact is limited, exposed data may aid follow-on attacks against the WordPress site or its analytics integrations.

Critical Impact
Unauthenticated remote attackers can retrieve embedded sensitive data from AnalyticsWP instances running version 2.1.2 or earlier.

Affected Products

Solid Plugins AnalyticsWP (WordPress plugin)
AnalyticsWP versions from n/a through 2.1.2
WordPress sites with the vulnerable plugin installed and active

Technical Details for CVE-2025-39394

Vulnerability Analysis

The vulnerability is a sensitive data exposure issue in the AnalyticsWP WordPress plugin. AnalyticsWP embeds sensitive information in output accessible to unauthorized parties. An unauthenticated remote attacker can request the exposed resource and read data that should be restricted. The flaw does not affect integrity or availability, only confidentiality. The EPSS probability is 0.251% with a percentile of 16.569, indicating low current exploitation likelihood but a non-zero risk given the ease of access.

Root Cause

The root cause maps to [CWE-497], where the plugin exposes system or application data to callers that should not have access. AnalyticsWP places sensitive values within responses or resources reachable without authentication or capability checks. There is no authorization boundary enforced around the affected data path. Any network client that can reach the WordPress site can retrieve the embedded information.

Attack Vector

The attack vector is network-based with low complexity. An attacker sends an unauthenticated HTTP request to the vulnerable endpoint or resource exposed by AnalyticsWP. The plugin returns responses containing embedded sensitive data. No user interaction is required, and the attacker does not need an account on the target WordPress instance. Refer to the Patchstack Vulnerability Report for technical specifics of the affected path.

Detection Methods for CVE-2025-39394

Indicators of Compromise

Unauthenticated HTTP GET requests to AnalyticsWP plugin paths under /wp-content/plugins/analyticswp/ from unfamiliar external IP addresses.
Web server access logs showing repeated retrieval of AnalyticsWP resources without a preceding authentication cookie.
Outbound references or scraping activity targeting WordPress sites known to run AnalyticsWP 2.1.2 or earlier.

Detection Strategies

Inventory WordPress installations and identify sites running AnalyticsWP at or below version 2.1.2.
Review web application firewall (WAF) and reverse proxy logs for anomalous access patterns to plugin-owned endpoints.
Correlate unauthenticated requests to AnalyticsWP resources with responses containing configuration-like strings, tokens, or identifiers.

Monitoring Recommendations

Enable verbose HTTP access logging on WordPress hosts and forward logs to a centralized analytics platform.
Alert on high-volume unauthenticated requests to any plugin directory, including AnalyticsWP paths.
Track plugin version metadata in asset inventories to flag hosts still exposed to CVE-2025-39394.

How to Mitigate CVE-2025-39394

Immediate Actions Required

Update AnalyticsWP to a version later than 2.1.2 as soon as the vendor publishes a fixed release.
Rotate any credentials, API keys, or tokens that AnalyticsWP may have exposed through the vulnerable path.
Restrict administrative and plugin endpoints behind a WAF or reverse proxy with authentication rules.

Patch Information

The Patchstack Vulnerability Report tracks the affected versions and any vendor-provided remediation. Administrators should monitor the Solid Plugins AnalyticsWP changelog for a release above 2.1.2 and apply it across all WordPress instances. Until a patch is confirmed installed, treat every deployment on 2.1.2 or earlier as vulnerable.

Workarounds

Deactivate and remove the AnalyticsWP plugin until a fixed version is installed.
Block external access to AnalyticsWP plugin paths at the WAF or reverse proxy layer.
Limit plugin resource access to authenticated administrative users via WordPress access control rules.

bash

# Configuration example: block external access to AnalyticsWP paths at the web server
location ~* /wp-content/plugins/analyticswp/ {
    deny all;
    return 403;
}
