CVE-2025-47460 is a high-severity SQL Injection vulnerability affecting the TrackShip for WooCommerce plugin, versions up to and including 1.9.1. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands (CWE-89), allowing an attacker with high privileges to inject malicious SQL code. The CVSS 3.1 score is 7.6, indicating a high impact. The vector metrics specify that the attack can be performed remotely over the network (AV:N), requires low attack complexity (AC:L), but does require high privileges (PR:H) and no user interaction (UI:N). The scope is changed (S:C), meaning the vulnerability can affect resources beyond the initially vulnerable component. The impact on confidentiality is high (C:H), while integrity is not impacted (I:N), and availability impact is low (A:L). This suggests that an attacker with sufficient privileges can exploit this vulnerability to extract sensitive data from the backend database but cannot modify or delete data or cause significant denial of service. The vulnerability affects the TrackShip plugin for WooCommerce, a WordPress e-commerce extension used for shipment tracking. No patches or known exploits in the wild have been reported at the time of publication. The vulnerability was published on May 7, 2025, and was assigned by Patchstack. Given the nature of WooCommerce as a widely used e-commerce platform, this vulnerability could expose sensitive customer and order data if exploited.

For European organizations using WooCommerce with the TrackShip plugin, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality of customer data, including personally identifiable information (PII), order details, and shipment tracking information. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized data disclosure, potentially violating GDPR and other data protection regulations, resulting in legal and financial penalties. The requirement for high privileges to exploit the vulnerability means that attackers would likely need to compromise an account with elevated permissions first, but once achieved, they could extract sensitive data from the database. This could undermine customer trust and damage brand reputation. Additionally, the scope change indicates that the attacker might access data beyond the plugin's database tables, potentially affecting other parts of the WordPress installation. Although integrity and availability impacts are low, the confidentiality breach alone is critical for organizations handling sensitive customer information. E-commerce businesses in Europe are prime targets for such attacks due to the value of their data and the regulatory environment.

1. Immediate action should be to monitor for updates or patches from the TrackShip plugin developers and apply them as soon as they become available. 2. Until a patch is released, restrict access to high-privilege accounts and enforce strong authentication mechanisms such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) to reduce the risk of privilege escalation. 3. Conduct a thorough audit of user privileges within the WordPress environment to ensure that only necessary accounts have elevated permissions. 4. Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules specifically targeting SQL injection patterns to provide an additional layer of defense. 5. Review and harden database user permissions to limit the scope of what compromised accounts can access. 6. Regularly monitor logs for unusual database queries or access patterns that could indicate exploitation attempts. 7. Educate administrators and developers on secure coding practices to prevent similar vulnerabilities in custom plugins or themes. 8. Consider isolating the WooCommerce environment or using containerization to limit the blast radius of potential exploits. 9. Backup critical data regularly and verify the integrity of backups to enable recovery in case of an incident.
