Integrity: Low
Availability: None

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: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
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: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 16 Jan 2024
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

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

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

To mitigate this vulnerability, European organizations should immediately update the Ecwid Ecommerce Shopping Cart plugin to version 6.12.5 or later, where the CSRF protections are implemented. If immediate update is not feasible, organizations should implement compensating controls such as: 1) Restricting administrative access to the WordPress backend via IP whitelisting or VPN to reduce exposure to CSRF attacks. 2) Enforcing strong authentication mechanisms, including multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all admin accounts, to reduce the risk of compromised credentials being leveraged in conjunction with CSRF. 3) Educating administrators about phishing and social engineering risks to prevent inadvertent execution of malicious requests. 4) Employing web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules designed to detect and block CSRF attack patterns targeting the plugin endpoints. 5) Regularly auditing plugin settings and logs for unauthorized changes to quickly detect exploitation attempts. 6) Implementing Content Security Policy (CSP) headers and SameSite cookie attributes to limit cross-origin request capabilities. These measures, combined with prompt patching, will significantly reduce the risk posed by this vulnerability.

Description

The Ecwid Ecommerce Shopping Cart WordPress plugin before 6.12.5 does not have CSRF check in place when updating its settings, which could allow attackers to make a logged in admin change them via a CSRF attack.

Impact

For European organizations using the Ecwid Ecommerce Shopping Cart plugin on WordPress, this vulnerability poses a risk primarily to the integrity of their ecommerce platform configurations. An attacker exploiting this CSRF flaw could alter settings such as payment gateways, shipping options, or other critical ecommerce parameters without authorization. This could lead to financial losses, disruption of sales, or reputational damage if customers experience issues or fraudulent transactions. Since the attack requires an authenticated admin user to be tricked into executing a malicious request, the risk is somewhat mitigated by the need for user interaction and admin privileges. However, social engineering or phishing campaigns targeting ecommerce administrators could facilitate exploitation. The impact is particularly relevant for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that may not have rigorous security awareness or multi-factor authentication in place. Additionally, any regulatory compliance obligations related to ecommerce data integrity and consumer protection under GDPR could be indirectly affected if the vulnerability leads to unauthorized changes impacting customer transactions or data handling.

Compound weaknessLikelihood of exploit: MediumCWE Top 25 (2025): #3OWASP Top 10 A01:2025: Broken Access Control (opens in a new tab)
The web application does not, or cannot, sufficiently verify whether a request was intentionally provided by the user who sent the request, which could have originated from an unauthorized actor.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Implementation
Ensure that the application is free of cross-site scripting issues (CWE-79), because most CSRF defenses can be bypassed using attacker-controlled script.
Architecture and Design
Generate a unique nonce for each form, place the nonce into the form, and verify the nonce upon receipt of the form. Be sure that the nonce is not predictable (CWE-330).
