Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the impacted component.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the impacted component are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 23 Dec 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

European organizations should implement a multi-layered mitigation strategy. First, monitor official Tyche Softwares channels and trusted vulnerability databases for the release of a security patch and apply it promptly once available. Until a patch is released, restrict access to WooCommerce administrative and plugin-related endpoints using IP whitelisting or VPN access to reduce exposure. Deploy web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules designed to detect and block anomalous requests targeting the delivery date plugin’s endpoints. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability scans focusing on WordPress and WooCommerce plugins to identify unpatched instances. Implement rate limiting and anomaly detection to mitigate potential denial of service attempts. Maintain comprehensive logging and monitoring to detect unusual activity that could indicate exploitation attempts. Educate web administrators and developers about the vulnerability to ensure rapid response and remediation. Finally, consider temporary disabling the plugin if the delivery date feature is non-critical and no immediate patch is available, to eliminate the attack surface.

Description

Vulnerability in Tyche softwares Product Delivery Date for WooCommerce – Lite.This issue affects Product Delivery Date for WooCommerce – Lite: from n/a through 2.7.0.

Impact

For European organizations, especially those operating e-commerce platforms using WooCommerce with the Product Delivery Date for WooCommerce – Lite plugin, this vulnerability poses a risk of service disruption. The denial of service impact could lead to the delivery date feature becoming unavailable or unreliable, which may result in customer dissatisfaction, increased support requests, and potential loss of sales. Although the vulnerability does not compromise sensitive data or allow unauthorized changes, the availability impact can affect business continuity and brand reputation. Given the widespread adoption of WooCommerce in Europe’s e-commerce sector, particularly in countries with strong online retail markets, the operational impact could be significant for mid to large-sized retailers. Additionally, disruption during peak sales periods (e.g., holidays) could exacerbate financial losses. The absence of known exploits reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the threat, as attackers could develop exploits targeting this vulnerability. Organizations with limited security monitoring or delayed patch management processes are at higher risk of exploitation.
