CVE-2025-10637

Social Feed Gallery <= 4.9.2 - Missing Authorization to Unauthenticated Information Exposure

Published Oct 25, 2025 CVSS 3.1 · 5.3 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed

Description

The Social Feed Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Information Exposure in versions less than, or equal to, 4.9.2. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to exfiltrate Instagram profile and media data from any account the site owner connected to their site.

Analysis

Technical impact

The Social Feed Gallery plugin for WordPress has a missing authorization check in its REST API that allows unauthenticated users to retrieve Instagram profile and media data for any Instagram account connected by the site owner. This results in a moderate-information exposure where private content can be exfiltrated without needing credentials, causing a breach of confidentiality. The weakness is identified as a missing authorization control (CWE-862).

Affected Systems

vulnerable versions of the quadlayers Social Feed Gallery plugin up to and including 4.9.2. Any WordPress site that has installed and activated the plugin and has connected an Instagram account is at risk. The plugin’s REST endpoint /user-profile is the entry point for the exploit.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score of 5.3 indicates moderate severity. The EPSS score of < 1% shows a very low probability of exploitation observed in the wild, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalogue. Attackers can exploit the issue by sending unauthenticated GET requests to the plugin’s REST endpoint, which returns sensitive Instagram data. Since no authentication is enforced, the attack surface is public and requires only knowledge of the correct URL.

Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

Upgrade the Social Feed Gallery plugin to the latest available version that includes the authorization check fix.

Restrict unauthenticated access to the plugin’s REST API endpoints by configuring firewall rules or using a WordPress REST API restriction plugin to block or rate‑limit GET requests to the /user-profile endpoint.
