Security Summary
CVE-2025-24753 is a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in the StellarWP Gutenberg Blocks by Kadence Blocks WordPress plugin (kadence-blocks). It enables exploiting incorrectly configured access control security levels and affects all versions from n/a through 3.3.1. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 4.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N), indicating a moderate severity issue with network accessibility and low complexity.
A low-privileged authenticated user (PR:L) can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network without user interaction. Exploitation leads to low-impact integrity violations (I:L), such as performing unauthorized actions due to inadequate authorization checks.
