CVE-2025-47645 is a high-severity SQL Injection vulnerability (CWE-89) found in the ELEXtensions product 'ELEX WooCommerce Advanced Bulk Edit Products, Prices & Attributes' affecting versions up to 1.4.9. This vulnerability arises due to improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands, allowing an attacker with at least low privileges (PR:L) and no user interaction (UI:N) to inject malicious SQL code remotely over the network (AV:N). The vulnerability impacts confidentiality severely (C:H), with no direct impact on integrity (I:N) and a low impact on availability (A:L). The scope is changed (S:C), meaning the vulnerability can affect resources beyond the initially vulnerable component. Given the product is a WooCommerce plugin used for bulk editing product data, prices, and attributes, exploitation could allow attackers to extract sensitive database information, such as customer data, pricing, or inventory details, without authorization. Although no known exploits are currently in the wild, the ease of exploitation combined with the high CVSS score (8.5) indicates a significant risk. The lack of available patches at the time of publication increases the urgency for mitigation. This vulnerability is particularly critical because WooCommerce is widely used in e-commerce platforms, and bulk editing plugins often have elevated privileges to modify product databases, making them attractive targets for attackers aiming to compromise business-critical data or gain footholds for further attacks.

For European organizations, especially those operating e-commerce platforms using WooCommerce with the affected ELEXtensions plugin, this vulnerability poses a substantial risk to the confidentiality of sensitive customer and business data. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized data disclosure, potentially violating GDPR and other data protection regulations, resulting in legal and financial repercussions. The ability to extract pricing and inventory data could also undermine competitive advantage and trust. Although the integrity impact is rated none, attackers could leverage the information gained to plan further attacks or social engineering campaigns. The availability impact is low but could still disrupt business operations temporarily. Given the interconnected nature of European supply chains and e-commerce ecosystems, a compromise in one organization could have cascading effects. Additionally, the vulnerability could be exploited to target high-value sectors such as retail, manufacturing, and logistics, which rely heavily on WooCommerce for online sales and inventory management.

European organizations should immediately audit their WooCommerce installations to identify the presence of the ELEX WooCommerce Advanced Bulk Edit Products, Prices & Attributes plugin and verify the version in use. Until an official patch is released, organizations should consider disabling or uninstalling the plugin to eliminate the attack surface. If the plugin is essential, restrict access to the bulk edit functionality to trusted administrators only, implementing strict role-based access controls and network-level restrictions such as IP whitelisting or VPN-only access. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting this plugin. Regularly monitor logs for suspicious database queries or unusual access patterns. Additionally, ensure that database user accounts used by WooCommerce have the minimum necessary privileges to limit potential damage. Organizations should also prepare incident response plans specific to e-commerce data breaches and maintain backups of critical data to enable recovery in case of compromise.
