CVE-2025-58599 is a medium severity vulnerability classified under CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) affecting the 'Order Delivery Date for WooCommerce' plugin developed by tychesoftwares. This plugin is used to manage and display delivery date options within WooCommerce, a widely used e-commerce platform on WordPress. The vulnerability arises from improperly configured access control mechanisms, allowing users with limited privileges (PR:L - privileges required) to perform actions or access functionalities that should be restricted. Specifically, although the CVSS vector indicates no user interaction is needed (UI:N) and the attack can be performed remotely over the network (AV:N), the attacker must have some level of authenticated access (PR:L), meaning the flaw does not allow unauthenticated exploitation but can be leveraged by authenticated users with limited rights. The impact is limited to integrity (I:L) with no confidentiality or availability impact. This suggests that an attacker could manipulate or alter order delivery date information or related data without authorization, potentially leading to incorrect order processing or customer dissatisfaction. The vulnerability affects versions up to 4.1.0, with no specific earliest affected version noted. No patches or known exploits are currently available, indicating that the vulnerability is newly disclosed and not yet actively exploited in the wild. The lack of a patch means organizations using this plugin remain exposed until a fix is released and applied.

For European organizations operating WooCommerce-based e-commerce sites using the 'Order Delivery Date for WooCommerce' plugin, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized modification of order delivery dates or related order metadata by authenticated users with limited privileges. This could disrupt order fulfillment processes, cause customer dissatisfaction due to incorrect delivery expectations, and potentially damage brand reputation. While the vulnerability does not directly expose sensitive customer data or cause service outages, the integrity compromise could indirectly affect customer trust and operational efficiency. In regulated sectors such as retail or logistics within the EU, incorrect order handling could also lead to compliance issues, especially if delivery commitments are part of contractual obligations. The medium severity rating suggests the threat is moderate but should not be ignored, particularly for high-volume e-commerce businesses or those with complex order management workflows. Since exploitation requires authenticated access, insider threats or compromised user accounts pose the greatest risk vectors.

1. Immediate mitigation involves restricting user privileges to the minimum necessary, ensuring that only trusted users have access to order management features within WooCommerce. 2. Monitor and audit user activities related to order delivery date modifications to detect unauthorized changes promptly. 3. Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all users with access to WooCommerce administrative or order management functions to reduce the risk of account compromise. 4. Regularly review and update user roles and permissions to close any excessive access that could be exploited. 5. Stay alert for official patches or updates from tychesoftwares and apply them promptly once available. 6. Consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAF) with custom rules to monitor and block suspicious requests targeting order modification endpoints. 7. Conduct internal penetration testing focusing on access control weaknesses in WooCommerce plugins to identify similar issues proactively.
