CVE-2025-54041 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability identified in the WP Swings Wallet System for WooCommerce plugin, affecting versions up to 2.6.7. This vulnerability allows an attacker to trick an authenticated user into submitting unwanted actions on the vulnerable WooCommerce wallet system without their consent. Specifically, CSRF exploits the trust that a web application places in the user's browser by leveraging the user's active session to perform unauthorized state-changing requests. In this case, the attacker could potentially manipulate wallet-related operations such as adding or deducting funds, or modifying wallet settings, by crafting malicious requests that the victim unknowingly executes. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.3 (medium severity), reflecting that the attack vector is network-based, requires no privileges, but does require user interaction (the victim must visit a malicious site or click a crafted link). The impact is limited to integrity (unauthorized modification of wallet data) with no direct confidentiality or availability impact. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches are linked yet, indicating that mitigation may rely on vendor updates or user-side protective measures. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-352, which is a common web application security weakness related to insufficient anti-CSRF protections such as missing or ineffective CSRF tokens.

For European organizations using WooCommerce with the WP Swings Wallet System plugin, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized wallet transactions or manipulations initiated by attackers via CSRF attacks. This could lead to financial discrepancies, loss of customer trust, and potential regulatory scrutiny under data protection and financial transaction regulations such as GDPR and PSD2. The integrity of wallet balances and transaction records could be compromised, affecting e-commerce operations and customer satisfaction. Although the vulnerability does not directly expose sensitive data or cause service outages, the unauthorized changes to wallet funds could have financial and reputational consequences. Organizations with high transaction volumes or those relying heavily on wallet-based payments are particularly at risk. The requirement for user interaction means phishing or social engineering campaigns could be used to exploit this vulnerability, increasing the threat surface.

To mitigate this vulnerability, European organizations should immediately verify if they are using the affected versions of the WP Swings Wallet System plugin (up to 2.6.7) and plan to upgrade to a patched version once available. In the interim, implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block suspicious CSRF attempts targeting wallet-related endpoints. Enforce strict SameSite cookie attributes (e.g., SameSite=Lax or Strict) to reduce CSRF risks. Educate users and administrators about phishing risks and encourage cautious behavior regarding unsolicited links or sites. Developers and site administrators should audit and enhance anti-CSRF protections by ensuring all state-changing requests require valid CSRF tokens and verifying the origin of requests. Additionally, monitoring wallet transaction logs for unusual activity can help detect exploitation attempts early. If possible, temporarily disable wallet functionalities or restrict wallet operations to authenticated and verified sessions until a patch is applied.
