Description

The Amazon Products to WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.7 via the wcta2w_get_urls(). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to make web requests to arbitrary locations originating from the web application and can be used to query and modify information from internal services.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2025-5817 is a high-severity Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability affecting the Amazon Products to WooCommerce WordPress plugin developed by suhailahmad64. This vulnerability exists in all versions up to and including 1.2.7, specifically within the wcta2w_get_urls() function. SSRF vulnerabilities allow an attacker to abuse the server-side application to send HTTP requests to arbitrary locations from the perspective of the vulnerable server. In this case, the vulnerability is exploitable without authentication or user interaction, meaning that any unauthenticated attacker can trigger the vulnerable function to make requests to internal or external systems. The impact of this vulnerability includes the potential to query internal services that are not normally accessible externally, which could lead to information disclosure or further exploitation such as accessing metadata services, internal APIs, or other sensitive endpoints. Additionally, the attacker may be able to modify information on internal services if those services accept such requests, thereby compromising the integrity of internal data. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.2 reflects the high risk posed by this vulnerability, with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and a scope change indicating that the vulnerability affects components beyond the initially vulnerable plugin. The confidentiality and integrity impacts are rated as low but significant, while availability is not impacted. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, but the ease of exploitation and lack of authentication requirements make this a critical issue to address promptly. The absence of available patches at the time of publication increases the urgency for mitigation through alternative means.

Potential Impact

For European organizations using WordPress sites with the Amazon Products to WooCommerce plugin, this SSRF vulnerability poses a significant risk. Attackers could leverage this flaw to access internal network resources that are otherwise protected by firewalls or network segmentation. This could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive internal information, such as internal APIs, configuration endpoints, or cloud metadata services (e.g., AWS EC2 metadata), which could further facilitate privilege escalation or lateral movement within the network. The ability to modify internal service data could also disrupt business operations or corrupt critical data. Given the widespread use of WooCommerce for e-commerce in Europe, especially among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), the vulnerability could impact a large number of online stores, potentially leading to data breaches, loss of customer trust, and financial damage. Moreover, the vulnerability's exploitation could be part of larger attack campaigns targeting supply chains or e-commerce infrastructure, which are critical for European digital economies. The lack of authentication and user interaction requirements means that automated attacks or scanning campaigns could rapidly identify and exploit vulnerable installations, increasing the threat level.

Mitigation Recommendations

Since no official patches are currently available, European organizations should implement immediate compensating controls. First, restrict outbound HTTP requests from the web server hosting the vulnerable plugin to only trusted external endpoints using firewall rules or web application firewalls (WAFs) to prevent SSRF exploitation. Second, employ network segmentation to isolate the WordPress server from sensitive internal services and metadata endpoints. Third, monitor web server logs and network traffic for unusual outbound requests or patterns indicative of SSRF exploitation attempts. Fourth, consider disabling or removing the Amazon Products to WooCommerce plugin until a patched version is released. Fifth, apply the principle of least privilege to the WordPress environment and underlying infrastructure to limit the potential impact of a successful exploit. Finally, stay informed about updates from the plugin developer or WordPress security advisories and apply patches immediately upon release.
