CVE-2025-62008 is a vulnerability classified as deserialization of untrusted data found in the acowebs Product Table For WooCommerce plugin, affecting versions up to and including 1.2.4. Deserialization vulnerabilities occur when software deserializes data from untrusted sources without proper validation, allowing attackers to manipulate serialized objects to execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service. In this case, the plugin improperly handles serialized input, enabling an attacker with low privileges (PR:L) and no user interaction (UI:N) to remotely execute code (RCE) on the hosting server. The CVSS vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, partial privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This vulnerability is particularly dangerous because it can lead to full system compromise, data theft, or service disruption. Although no public exploits are currently known, the vulnerability's presence in a widely used WooCommerce plugin increases the risk of future exploitation. The plugin is commonly used to enhance WooCommerce product listings, making it a popular target in e-commerce environments. The vulnerability was published on October 22, 2025, with no patch links currently available, suggesting that vendors or users should monitor for updates and advisories. The vulnerability was assigned by Patchstack, a known security entity specializing in WordPress plugin vulnerabilities. The lack of a patch at the time of disclosure means organizations must rely on interim mitigations to reduce risk.

For European organizations, especially those operating e-commerce platforms using WooCommerce with the acowebs Product Table plugin, this vulnerability poses a critical risk. Successful exploitation can lead to remote code execution, allowing attackers to steal sensitive customer data, manipulate product information, disrupt sales operations, or deploy ransomware. The impact extends to loss of customer trust, regulatory penalties under GDPR for data breaches, and financial losses from downtime or fraud. Given the plugin's role in product display, attackers could also manipulate pricing or inventory data, causing reputational damage. The vulnerability's network accessibility and low complexity make it attractive for attackers targeting European SMEs and large retailers alike. Additionally, the lack of required user interaction facilitates automated exploitation attempts. The potential for widespread impact is significant due to WooCommerce's popularity in Europe, making this a high-priority threat for organizations in the region.

Organizations should immediately inventory their WooCommerce installations to identify if the acowebs Product Table plugin version 1.2.4 or earlier is in use. Until an official patch is released, restrict access to the plugin's functionalities by limiting user roles and permissions, especially removing low-privilege users' ability to interact with plugin features that process serialized data. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block malicious deserialization payloads. Monitor logs for unusual serialized data processing or unexpected plugin behavior. Consider temporarily disabling the plugin if business operations allow. Stay informed through vendor channels and security advisories for patch releases and apply updates promptly. Additionally, implement network segmentation to isolate web servers and reduce lateral movement risk. Conduct regular backups and test recovery procedures to mitigate potential ransomware or data loss scenarios stemming from exploitation.
