CVE-2025-29001 is a Missing Authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) identified in the ZoomIt WooCommerce Shop Page Builder plugin, affecting versions up to 2.27.7. This vulnerability arises due to improperly configured access control mechanisms, allowing users with limited privileges (PR:L - privileges required) to perform actions or access functionalities that should be restricted. The vulnerability does not require user interaction (UI:N) and can be exploited remotely over the network (AV:N). The impact is limited to integrity (I:L), meaning an attacker could potentially modify or manipulate data or configurations within the plugin's scope without authorization, but confidentiality and availability are not affected. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 4.3, categorizing it as a medium severity issue. WooCommerce Shop Page Builder is a WordPress plugin used to customize and build shop pages for WooCommerce-based e-commerce sites. Missing authorization vulnerabilities typically allow attackers to bypass intended access controls, potentially leading to unauthorized changes in shop page configurations, product displays, or other e-commerce related content. Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the vulnerability's presence in a widely used e-commerce plugin could be leveraged by attackers to manipulate shop content or configurations, potentially impacting business operations or customer trust. The lack of a patch link indicates that a fix may not yet be publicly available, emphasizing the need for vigilance and interim mitigations.

For European organizations, especially those operating e-commerce platforms using WooCommerce with the ZoomIt Shop Page Builder plugin, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized modification of shop page content or configurations. While it does not directly compromise customer data confidentiality or availability of the service, integrity issues could lead to altered product information, pricing, or promotional content, potentially resulting in financial loss, reputational damage, or customer distrust. Given the widespread use of WooCommerce in Europe, particularly among small to medium enterprises (SMEs) in countries with strong e-commerce markets such as Germany, the UK, France, and the Netherlands, the impact could be significant if exploited. Additionally, attackers could use this vulnerability as a foothold to conduct further attacks or inject malicious content, indirectly affecting broader security postures. The medium severity rating suggests that while the threat is not critical, it should not be ignored, especially in regulated sectors where data integrity and accurate product representation are essential.

1. Immediate mitigation should include restricting plugin access to only trusted users with necessary privileges and reviewing user roles and permissions within WordPress to minimize exposure. 2. Monitor and audit all changes made to shop pages and plugin configurations to detect unauthorized modifications promptly. 3. Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block suspicious requests targeting the plugin’s endpoints. 4. Regularly update all WordPress plugins and core installations; once a patch for this vulnerability is released, apply it without delay. 5. Consider temporarily disabling the ZoomIt WooCommerce Shop Page Builder plugin if the risk outweighs its utility until a fix is available. 6. Educate administrators and developers about the risks of missing authorization vulnerabilities and enforce secure coding and configuration practices. 7. Employ security plugins that can detect privilege escalation or unauthorized access attempts within WordPress environments.
