At a glance

CVE-2025-62019 is a high-severity Incorrect Authorization vulnerability in the Recipe Card Blocks Lite WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 3.4.8. It carries a CVSS score of 7.5 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity; high integrity impact). Exploitation requires no authentication. The issue is fixed in version 3.4.9; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed September 2025, reported by MD ISMAIL.

Vulnerability Overview

The Recipe Card Blocks for Gutenberg & Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to an incorrect capability check on several REST-API endpoints in versions up to, and including, 3.4.8. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to perform unauthorized actions.

Technical Analysis

The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no privileges on the target site, and no interaction from a victim user. A successful exploit has high impact on integrity.

CWE-863: Incorrect Authorization

Reaching this weakness in Recipe Card Blocks Lite <= 3.4.8 takes a caller who can reach the endpoint. Incorrect authorization means a permission check exists but evaluates the wrong thing, so it passes for callers it was meant to stop.

The action runs for users the code intended to exclude, with the same effect as having no check at all. For Recipe Card Blocks Lite the fix is 3.4.9: builds <= 3.4.8 are affected, anything from 3.4.9 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 3.4.9, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

Because it turns on account access, WordSec's login security is the relevant layer: role-based two-factor, captcha and brute-force limits raise the cost of getting the account this needs. None of that substitutes for the fix: Recipe Card Blocks Lite 3.4.9 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
