CVE-2025-60247 is a vulnerability identified in the Bux Woocommerce plugin, versions up to and including 1.2.3. The core issue is a missing authorization check, meaning certain functionalities within the plugin are accessible without proper Access Control List (ACL) enforcement. This flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to invoke sensitive functions that should be restricted, potentially leading to unauthorized data access. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5, reflecting a medium severity level. The vector indicates network attack vector (AV:N), high attack complexity (AC:H), no privileges required (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), unchanged scope (S:U), high confidentiality impact (C:H), low integrity impact (I:L), and no availability impact (A:N). The high confidentiality impact suggests attackers could access sensitive information, but the high attack complexity reduces the likelihood of widespread exploitation. No known exploits have been reported in the wild as of the publication date (November 6, 2025). The vulnerability affects e-commerce websites using the Bux Woocommerce plugin, which integrates with WordPress to provide online store functionality. Since Woocommerce is widely used in Europe, especially in countries with mature e-commerce markets, this vulnerability poses a tangible risk to data confidentiality and business operations if left unpatched. The lack of vendor-provided patches at the time of disclosure necessitates interim mitigations such as restricting network access to the plugin's administrative endpoints and conducting thorough authorization audits.

For European organizations, exploitation of CVE-2025-60247 could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive customer and business data, undermining confidentiality and potentially violating GDPR requirements. Although the integrity and availability impacts are low or none, the breach of confidentiality alone can result in reputational damage, regulatory fines, and loss of customer trust. E-commerce businesses relying on Bux Woocommerce may experience targeted attacks aiming to extract payment or personal data. The high attack complexity somewhat limits mass exploitation, but motivated attackers with sufficient resources could still succeed. The absence of required privileges or user interaction means attackers can attempt exploitation remotely without authentication, increasing the threat surface. Organizations that do not promptly address this vulnerability risk exposure to data breaches and subsequent financial and legal consequences.

1. Monitor Bux vendor channels closely for official patches and apply them immediately upon release. 2. Until patches are available, implement strict network-level access controls to restrict access to administrative and plugin-specific endpoints only to trusted IP addresses. 3. Conduct a comprehensive authorization audit of the Bux Woocommerce plugin functionality to identify and remediate any missing or weak ACLs. 4. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious requests targeting the vulnerable functions. 5. Regularly review and tighten user roles and permissions within WordPress and Woocommerce to minimize exposure. 6. Enable detailed logging and monitoring of access to the plugin to detect anomalous activity early. 7. Educate IT and security teams about this vulnerability to ensure rapid response capability. 8. Consider isolating e-commerce systems in segmented network zones to limit lateral movement in case of compromise.
