CVE-2025-62008 is a vulnerability classified as deserialization of untrusted data in the acowebs Product Table For WooCommerce plugin, affecting versions up to and including 1.2.4. Deserialization vulnerabilities occur when untrusted input is deserialized without sufficient validation, allowing attackers to manipulate serialized objects to execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service. This specific vulnerability requires only low privileges (PR:L) and no user interaction (UI:N), making it easier to exploit remotely over the network (AV:N). The vulnerability impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H), meaning an attacker can potentially access sensitive data, alter it, or disrupt service. The plugin is used to enhance WooCommerce product tables, a popular e-commerce platform, increasing the attack surface for online stores. Although no public exploits are reported yet, the high CVSS score (8.8) and the nature of the vulnerability suggest that exploitation could lead to full system compromise. The vulnerability was published on October 22, 2025, and no patches or exploit code are currently available, emphasizing the need for proactive mitigation. The vulnerability was assigned by Patchstack, a known security entity for WordPress plugins. Given WooCommerce's widespread use in Europe, this vulnerability poses a significant threat to e-commerce businesses relying on this plugin.

European organizations running WooCommerce with the vulnerable acowebs Product Table plugin face severe risks including unauthorized data access, data manipulation, and potential full system compromise. This can lead to theft of customer data, financial losses, reputational damage, and disruption of e-commerce operations. The vulnerability's ease of exploitation without user interaction increases the likelihood of automated attacks and worm-like propagation. Given the critical role of e-commerce in European economies, especially in countries with high WooCommerce adoption, the impact could extend to supply chain disruptions and loss of consumer trust. Regulatory implications under GDPR are also significant if personal data is compromised. Organizations with limited patch management capabilities or those using shared hosting environments are particularly vulnerable. The absence of known exploits currently provides a window for mitigation but also means attackers may be actively developing exploit code.

1. Monitor acowebs and WooCommerce official channels for security patches and apply updates immediately once available. 2. Until patches are released, restrict plugin usage to trusted administrators only and remove or disable the Product Table For WooCommerce plugin if feasible. 3. Implement strict access controls to limit user privileges, especially for roles that can interact with the plugin. 4. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAF) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious serialized payloads targeting this vulnerability. 5. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability scans focusing on WordPress and WooCommerce plugins. 6. Enable detailed logging and monitor for unusual activity indicative of exploitation attempts. 7. Educate administrators about the risks of deserialization vulnerabilities and safe plugin management practices. 8. Consider isolating WooCommerce environments to limit lateral movement in case of compromise. 9. Backup critical data regularly and verify restoration processes to minimize impact of potential attacks.
