CVE-2025-62015 is an SQL Injection vulnerability found in the Advanced Coupons for WooCommerce Coupons plugin developed by Josh Kohlbach, affecting versions up to and including 4.6.8. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands, allowing an attacker with high-level privileges to inject arbitrary SQL code. This can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data (confidentiality impact is high), and partial modification of data (integrity impact is low), though availability remains unaffected. The vulnerability requires network access (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), and privileges (PR:H), but no user interaction (UI:N). The scope is changed (S:C), meaning the vulnerability can affect resources beyond the initially vulnerable component. The plugin is widely used in WooCommerce-based e-commerce platforms to manage coupons and discounts, making it a valuable target for attackers seeking to compromise customer data or manipulate coupon data for fraudulent purposes. Although no public exploits are currently known, the vulnerability's characteristics suggest it could be exploited by malicious insiders or compromised administrator accounts. The lack of a patch link indicates that a fix may not yet be publicly available, emphasizing the need for proactive mitigation.

For European organizations, especially e-commerce businesses using WooCommerce with the Advanced Coupons plugin, this vulnerability poses a significant risk. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to customer data, including personal and payment-related information, undermining GDPR compliance and potentially resulting in regulatory penalties. Data integrity could be compromised by unauthorized modification of coupon or transaction data, leading to financial losses or reputational damage. The vulnerability does not affect availability, so denial-of-service is unlikely. However, the breach of confidentiality and integrity can severely impact customer trust and business operations. Since exploitation requires high privileges, insider threats or compromised administrator accounts are primary concerns. The widespread use of WooCommerce in Europe, particularly in countries with large e-commerce sectors, amplifies the potential impact.

1. Monitor for and apply vendor patches immediately once released for Advanced Coupons for WooCommerce Coupons plugin to remediate the vulnerability. 2. Restrict administrative and high-privilege user access strictly on a need-to-use basis, employing strong authentication mechanisms such as multi-factor authentication (MFA). 3. Conduct regular audits of user accounts and permissions to detect and remove unnecessary high-privilege accounts. 4. Deploy Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with SQL Injection detection and prevention capabilities to block malicious payloads targeting this vulnerability. 5. Implement database query parameterization and input validation best practices in custom code interfacing with the plugin, if applicable. 6. Monitor logs for unusual database query patterns or suspicious administrative activities that may indicate exploitation attempts. 7. Educate administrators on the risks of SQL Injection and the importance of safeguarding credentials. 8. Consider isolating the e-commerce environment and applying network segmentation to limit lateral movement in case of compromise.
