Missing Authorization in LottieFiles WordPress Plugin Settings Endpoint

IdentifiersCVE-2025-68043CWE-862· Missing Authorization

CVE-2025-68043 is a missing authorization vulnerability affecting the LottieFiles WordPress plugin through version 3.0.0. Available supporting content indicates that the plugin exposes the REST endpoint /wp-json/lottiefiles/v1/settings/ without proper authorization checks, allowing unauthorized access to plugin settings data. The referenced detection logic and review notes indicate the endpoint can return HTTP 200 responses to unauthenticated requests and may expose configuration values, including sensitive tokens and API keys. The issue is described as stemming from incorrectly configured access control security levels.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation allows an unauthenticated attacker to access data from the LottieFiles settings endpoint that should be restricted. Based on the provided content, this may include disclosure of sensitive configuration information such as tokens and API keys. The primary impact is unauthorized access to protected application data and potential follow-on abuse of any exposed credentials or integration secrets.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

If immediate patching is not possible, restrict unauthenticated access to the WordPress REST API endpoint /wp-json/lottiefiles/v1/settings/ using web server rules, WAF policy, or application-layer access controls. Review the plugin configuration for exposed API keys or tokens and rotate any secrets that may have been disclosed. Limit public exposure of the affected WordPress instance where feasible and monitor for unauthorized requests to the LottieFiles REST endpoint.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade the LottieFiles WordPress plugin to a vendor-provided patched version newer than 3.0.0 once available. The provided content indicates versions through 3.0.0 are affected and notes that 3.1.0 and later were discussed as patched/non-vulnerable in template review context, but definitive vendor remediation details are not otherwise provided in the source content. In addition, the vulnerable endpoint should enforce proper authorization checks before returning settings data.
