CVE-2025-47569 is a critical SQL Injection vulnerability (CWE-89) identified in the WPSwings WooCommerce Ultimate Gift Card plugin, which is used to create, sell, and manage gift cards with customized email templates within WooCommerce environments. This vulnerability affects all versions up to 2.8.10. The flaw arises from improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to inject malicious SQL code remotely over the network without any user interaction. According to the CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:L), the attack requires no privileges and no user interaction, making exploitation straightforward. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality severely by allowing attackers to extract sensitive data from the backend database, while integrity is not directly affected. Availability impact is low but present, as attackers could cause minor disruptions. The scope is changed (S:C), indicating that exploitation can affect resources beyond the vulnerable component, potentially compromising the entire WooCommerce store database. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, but the high CVSS score (9.3) and ease of exploitation make this a significant threat. The lack of available patches at the time of publication increases the urgency for mitigation. Given WooCommerce's widespread use in e-commerce, this vulnerability poses a substantial risk to online stores using this plugin, potentially exposing customer data, gift card information, and other sensitive transactional data.

For European organizations, especially e-commerce businesses relying on WooCommerce with the WPSwings Ultimate Gift Card plugin, this vulnerability could lead to significant data breaches involving customer personal information, payment details, and gift card balances. The exposure of such data could result in financial losses, reputational damage, and regulatory penalties under GDPR. The ability to extract confidential data without authentication increases the risk of large-scale data theft. Additionally, attackers might leverage the vulnerability to gain further footholds or pivot within the affected systems, potentially compromising broader IT infrastructure. The disruption to gift card services could also impact business operations and customer trust. Given the criticality and the changed scope, the threat extends beyond the plugin itself, potentially affecting the entire WooCommerce installation and connected systems.

1. Immediate mitigation should include disabling or uninstalling the vulnerable WPSwings WooCommerce Ultimate Gift Card plugin until a patch is available. 2. Monitor official vendor channels and Patchstack advisories for the release of security updates and apply patches promptly once available. 3. Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules specifically designed to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting WooCommerce and associated plugins. 4. Conduct thorough code reviews and input validation enhancements on all user inputs related to gift card creation and management to prevent injection. 5. Restrict database user permissions for the WooCommerce database user to the minimum necessary to limit the impact of any injection. 6. Enable detailed logging and monitoring of database queries and application logs to detect anomalous activities indicative of exploitation attempts. 7. Educate development and operations teams about this vulnerability to ensure rapid response and remediation. 8. Consider deploying runtime application self-protection (RASP) solutions to detect and block injection attacks in real-time.
