The vulnerability identified as CVE-2025-62008 affects the acowebs Product Table For WooCommerce plugin, specifically versions up to and including 1.2.4. It is a deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability, meaning the plugin processes serialized data inputs without adequate validation or sanitization. Deserialization vulnerabilities occur when an application deserializes data from untrusted sources, allowing attackers to craft malicious serialized objects that, when deserialized, can execute arbitrary code or manipulate application logic. In this case, the plugin's handling of product table data allows an attacker to inject malicious serialized payloads. This can lead to remote code execution, privilege escalation, or data tampering within the WordPress environment hosting WooCommerce. The vulnerability was reserved and published in October 2025, but no CVSS score has been assigned yet, and no known exploits have been reported in the wild. However, given the nature of deserialization flaws, exploitation can be straightforward if an attacker can supply crafted input, often without requiring authentication. The affected plugin is widely used in e-commerce sites running WooCommerce, a popular WordPress e-commerce platform, making the attack surface significant. The lack of available patches or updates at the time of publication increases the urgency for mitigation. The vulnerability threatens the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of e-commerce platforms, potentially leading to data breaches, unauthorized transactions, or site defacement.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to e-commerce operations relying on WooCommerce with the affected plugin. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive customer data, manipulation of product listings or pricing, and disruption of online sales services. This can result in financial losses, reputational damage, and regulatory penalties under GDPR due to data breaches. The availability of the e-commerce platform could be compromised, affecting business continuity. Given the widespread adoption of WooCommerce in Europe, especially in countries with mature e-commerce markets, the impact could be broad. Attackers could leverage this vulnerability to implant malware, steal payment information, or conduct fraudulent transactions. The absence of known exploits currently provides a window for proactive defense, but the ease of exploitation inherent in deserialization vulnerabilities means that attackers may develop exploits rapidly once details are publicized. Organizations may also face increased scrutiny from customers and regulators if breaches occur due to unpatched vulnerabilities.

European organizations should immediately assess their use of the acowebs Product Table For WooCommerce plugin and determine if affected versions (up to 1.2.4) are in use. If so, they should prioritize upgrading to a patched version once available. In the absence of a patch, organizations should consider temporarily disabling the plugin to eliminate the attack vector. Implement strict input validation and sanitization on all data inputs related to the plugin, especially those involving serialized data. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious serialized payloads targeting the plugin. Monitor logs for unusual activity, such as unexpected POST requests or deserialization errors. Limit administrative access to trusted users and enforce strong authentication mechanisms to reduce the risk of exploitation. Regularly back up website data and configurations to enable rapid recovery in case of compromise. Engage with the vendor or security community for updates and patches. Finally, conduct security awareness training for developers and administrators on the risks of deserialization vulnerabilities and secure coding practices.
