CVE-2025-59006 is a reflected Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability found in the Easy Woocommerce Customizer plugin developed by themebon, affecting versions up to and including 1.0.2. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of user-supplied input during web page generation, allowing attackers to inject malicious JavaScript code that is reflected back to users. This type of XSS is triggered when an attacker crafts a specially designed URL or input that, when visited or processed by a victim’s browser, executes arbitrary scripts in the context of the vulnerable website. The vulnerability does not require authentication (PR:N) but does require user interaction (UI:R), such as clicking a malicious link. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N) indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, unchanged scope, high confidentiality impact, low integrity impact, and no availability impact. Exploitation can lead to theft of sensitive information such as session cookies or personal data, enabling further attacks like session hijacking or phishing. Although no known exploits are reported in the wild yet, the vulnerability poses a significant risk to e-commerce sites using this plugin, as attackers can target customers or administrators. The plugin is used to customize WooCommerce stores, which are widely deployed in online retail environments. The lack of available patches at the time of publication increases the urgency for mitigation. The vulnerability was reserved on 2025-09-06 and published on 2025-10-22 by Patchstack.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-59006 can be substantial, particularly for those operating WooCommerce-based e-commerce platforms using the Easy Woocommerce Customizer plugin. Successful exploitation can lead to the compromise of customer data confidentiality, including session tokens and personal information, potentially resulting in account takeover, fraud, or identity theft. This undermines customer trust and can lead to regulatory penalties under GDPR due to data breaches. The integrity impact is limited but may allow attackers to manipulate displayed content, facilitating phishing or social engineering attacks. Availability is not affected, so service disruption is unlikely. The vulnerability’s exploitation requires user interaction, which may limit automated mass exploitation but still poses a risk through targeted phishing campaigns. Given the widespread use of WooCommerce in Europe’s e-commerce sector, the threat could affect a large number of small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and larger retailers. The reputational damage and potential financial losses from fraud or regulatory fines could be significant.

1. Monitor for official patches or updates from themebon and apply them immediately once available to remediate the vulnerability. 2. In the absence of patches, implement Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with robust XSS filtering rules to detect and block malicious payloads targeting the vulnerable plugin. 3. Conduct a thorough input validation and output encoding review in the Easy Woocommerce Customizer plugin code if custom modifications exist, ensuring all user inputs are properly sanitized and escaped before rendering. 4. Educate staff and users about the risks of clicking suspicious links and implement anti-phishing training to reduce successful exploitation via social engineering. 5. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts on affected web pages. 6. Regularly audit and monitor web server logs for unusual request patterns that may indicate exploitation attempts. 7. Consider temporarily disabling or replacing the plugin with alternative solutions if immediate patching is not feasible. 8. Ensure that WooCommerce and WordPress core installations are kept up to date to minimize the attack surface.
