Summary

CVE-2025-3102 is a high-severity Incorrect Comparison (CWE-697) vulnerability in Wordpress (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 8.1 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Obfuscated Files or Information (T1027); ranked in the top 0.5% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and AC-25 (Reference Monitor) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

The SureTriggers All-in-One Automation Platform plugin for WordPress is affected by an authentication bypass vulnerability in all versions through 1.0.78. The flaw stems from a missing empty-value check on the secret_key parameter inside the authenticate_user function, which permits unauthenticated requests to succeed when the plugin is installed and activated without an API key configured.

Unauthenticated attackers can exploit the issue over the network to create new administrator accounts on the target site, achieving full control over the WordPress installation. The CVSS 8.1 rating reflects the high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability combined with the attack complexity of requiring the plugin to be in an unconfigured state.

Public references point to a fix committed in the WordPress plugin repository that addresses the missing validation, and the Wordfence advisory recommends updating to a patched release. The associated EPSS score has reached a peak of 0.8844 with a current value of 0.8353, indicating sustained exploitation interest following disclosure.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation directly exercises security-relevant comparisons to discover incorrect logic.

A reference monitor must be small and correct, structurally limiting the chance of flawed comparison logic in authorization decisions.

Security engineering principles require correct implementation of comparison logic used for access and authentication decisions.
