CVE-2025-58788 is a high-severity SQL Injection vulnerability (CWE-89) identified in the Saad Iqbal License Manager for WooCommerce plugin, affecting versions up to 3.0.12. This vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands, allowing an attacker to perform Blind SQL Injection attacks. Specifically, the flaw enables an attacker with high privileges (PR:H) and network access (AV:N) to inject malicious SQL queries without requiring user interaction (UI:N). The vulnerability impacts the confidentiality of the database, potentially allowing unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data, while integrity remains unaffected and availability impact is low. The scope is changed (S:C), indicating that exploitation could affect resources beyond the vulnerable component. The plugin is used to manage software licenses within WooCommerce, a popular e-commerce platform for WordPress, which is widely adopted by online retailers. Exploitation could allow attackers to extract sensitive license or customer data from the backend database, leading to data breaches or further attacks. Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the vulnerability's characteristics and high CVSS score (7.6) suggest it is a significant risk if left unpatched. The lack of available patches at the time of publication increases the urgency for mitigation. Given the plugin's integration with WooCommerce, which is prevalent in European e-commerce, this vulnerability poses a tangible threat to businesses relying on this software for license management.

For European organizations, especially e-commerce businesses using WooCommerce with the Saad Iqbal License Manager plugin, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive customer and license data, violating GDPR and other data protection regulations. The breach of confidentiality could damage customer trust and lead to regulatory fines. Additionally, attackers could leverage extracted data for further attacks such as account takeover or fraud. The high privilege requirement limits exploitation to users with elevated access, but if such credentials are compromised or if the plugin is exposed on public-facing servers, the risk escalates. The availability impact is low, so service disruption is unlikely, but data confidentiality compromise is a critical concern. Organizations in sectors with high reliance on software licensing and digital sales, such as software vendors and digital content providers, are particularly at risk. The vulnerability also poses reputational risks and potential financial losses due to remediation costs and legal consequences.

1. Immediate review and restriction of user privileges to ensure that only trusted users have high-level access to the WooCommerce backend and License Manager plugin. 2. Monitor and audit access logs for suspicious activities indicative of SQL injection attempts, focusing on high-privilege accounts. 3. Implement Web Application Firewalls (WAF) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the License Manager endpoints. 4. Until an official patch is released, consider disabling or removing the License Manager plugin if feasible, or isolate the affected system from external network access. 5. Employ database activity monitoring tools to detect anomalous queries that may indicate exploitation attempts. 6. Plan for rapid deployment of patches once available and test updates in a staging environment before production rollout. 7. Educate administrators on the risks of SQL injection and the importance of secure coding and plugin management. 8. Regularly back up databases and ensure backups are secure and tested for restoration to mitigate potential data loss.
