Summary

CVE-2025-62892 is a medium-severity Missing Authorization (CWE-862) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 5.3 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Permission Groups Discovery (T1069); ranked at the 17th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and AC-6 (Least Privilege) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1069 Permission Groups Discovery Discovery
Adversaries may attempt to discover group and permission settings.
T1087 Account Discovery Discovery
Adversaries may attempt to get a listing of valid accounts, usernames, or email addresses on a system or within a compromised environment.
Why these techniques?

Missing authorization (CWE-862) in a web application plugin allows an attacker to access functionality or data without proper ACL enforcement, which can facilitate permission group discovery (T1069) and account discovery (T1087) by enumerating or accessing resources that should be restricted.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly enforces authorization checks to block access to functionality not properly constrained by ACLs.

prevent

Limits permissions to the minimum required, reducing the attack surface when ACL enforcement is missing or incomplete.

prevent

Enforces information flow rules that can constrain unauthorized access paths to cart functionality.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.AA-05 full match
prevents

Explicitly requires defining, enforcing, and reviewing authorizations and least privilege, directly preventing missing authorization checks.

Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

prevents

Requiring authentication and credentials before any access occurs eliminates the absence of authorization checks that would otherwise allow an unauthenticated actor to reach protected resources.

prevents

Requiring formal authorization of every access request before rights are granted ensures that checks for required permissions are performed, preventing missing authorization checks from being introduced.

prevents

Mandatory authorization checks and central records of granted rights ensure that every access attempt is preceded by an explicit decision rather than relying on missing checks.

mitigates

Segregating the approval of access rights from their implementation provides an independent check that reduces the impact of missing authorization checks in the resulting system configuration.

detects

By requiring competent outsiders to verify that every function enforces the need-to-know principle, the control lowers the likelihood that missing authorization checks persist undetected.

prevents

Defining authorization responsibilities and reviewing risk-treatment progress throughout the project lifecycle catches missing authorization checks before the system is deployed.
