CVE-2025-58878 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability identified in the Woocommerce Gifts Product plugin developed by usamafarooq. This vulnerability affects versions up to 1.0.0, though specific version details are not fully enumerated. CSRF vulnerabilities occur when an attacker tricks an authenticated user into submitting a malicious request to a web application in which they are currently authenticated, thereby performing unwanted actions on their behalf without their consent. In this case, the Woocommerce Gifts Product plugin lacks adequate CSRF protections, such as anti-CSRF tokens or proper request validation, allowing an attacker to craft malicious web requests that could alter the state of the application. According to the CVSS v3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N), the attack can be executed remotely over the network without any privileges, but requires user interaction (e.g., clicking a malicious link). The vulnerability impacts the integrity of the application by enabling unauthorized modification of data or settings, but does not affect confidentiality or availability. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches have been published yet. The vulnerability was publicly disclosed on September 5, 2025, by Patchstack. The plugin is used within the WooCommerce ecosystem, which is a popular e-commerce platform for WordPress, often utilized by online retailers to manage product gifts or promotions. The lack of CSRF protection could allow attackers to manipulate gift product configurations or user-related data, potentially leading to fraudulent transactions or unauthorized changes in e-commerce workflows.

For European organizations, especially those operating e-commerce websites using WooCommerce with the Woocommerce Gifts Product plugin, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the integrity of their online sales processes. Attackers could exploit this CSRF flaw to perform unauthorized actions such as modifying gift product settings, adding or removing promotional items, or manipulating order details without the knowledge of the legitimate user. This could result in financial losses, customer dissatisfaction, and reputational damage. Since the vulnerability requires user interaction, phishing or social engineering campaigns targeting employees or customers could facilitate exploitation. Additionally, compromised e-commerce platforms could be leveraged for further attacks, including fraud or data manipulation. The impact is particularly relevant for businesses handling sensitive transactions or large volumes of sales through WooCommerce in Europe, where e-commerce is a critical sector. The absence of a patch increases the urgency for organizations to implement interim mitigations to prevent exploitation.

To mitigate this CSRF vulnerability effectively, European organizations should: 1) Immediately audit their WooCommerce installations to identify if the Woocommerce Gifts Product plugin is in use and determine the version. 2) Disable or remove the plugin until a security patch or update is released by the vendor. 3) Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules that detect and block suspicious CSRF-like requests targeting the plugin’s endpoints. 4) Educate users and administrators about the risks of phishing and social engineering attacks that could trigger CSRF exploits, emphasizing cautious behavior with unsolicited links. 5) Employ additional security controls such as Content Security Policy (CSP) and SameSite cookie attributes to reduce the risk of CSRF attacks. 6) Monitor logs for unusual activity related to gift product modifications or order changes. 7) Engage with the plugin vendor or community to track patch releases and apply updates promptly once available. 8) Consider implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA) for administrative access to reduce the risk of unauthorized actions even if CSRF is attempted.
