CVE-2025-62084 identifies a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the iNext Woo Pincode Checker plugin developed by Imdad Next Web, affecting versions up to 2.3.1. CSRF vulnerabilities occur when a web application does not properly verify that requests made to it originate from legitimate users, allowing attackers to craft malicious web pages or links that cause authenticated users to unknowingly execute unwanted actions. In this case, the vulnerability could allow an attacker to induce an authenticated WooCommerce site administrator or user to perform unintended actions related to the pincode checking functionality, such as modifying plugin settings or triggering operations that rely on the plugin. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3 indicates that the attack vector is network-based, requires no privileges, but does require user interaction (e.g., clicking a malicious link). The vulnerability impacts integrity but not confidentiality or availability, meaning the attacker can alter data or state but not access sensitive information or disrupt service. No patches or fixes have been published at the time of disclosure, and no known exploits are reported in the wild. The vulnerability is categorized under CWE-352, which is a common web security weakness related to insufficient request validation. Given the plugin’s integration with WooCommerce, a widely used e-commerce platform, exploitation could affect online stores relying on this plugin for location-based services or shipping calculations.

For European organizations, particularly those operating e-commerce websites using WooCommerce and the iNext Woo Pincode Checker plugin, this vulnerability poses a risk to the integrity of their web applications. An attacker could manipulate plugin behavior or settings by tricking authenticated users into submitting crafted requests, potentially leading to incorrect shipping calculations, unauthorized changes to plugin configurations, or other unintended side effects that could disrupt business operations or customer experience. While the vulnerability does not expose sensitive data or cause denial of service, the integrity compromise could undermine trust in the affected e-commerce platform and lead to financial or reputational damage. Given the widespread adoption of WooCommerce in Europe, especially in countries with mature e-commerce markets, the threat could impact a significant number of businesses. However, the requirement for user interaction and the absence of known exploits reduce the immediacy of the threat. Organizations that do not use this specific plugin are not affected.

To mitigate this CSRF vulnerability, organizations should first verify if they are using the iNext Woo Pincode Checker plugin version 2.3.1 or earlier. If so, they should monitor the vendor’s announcements for an official patch and apply it promptly once available. In the interim, administrators can implement web application firewall (WAF) rules that detect and block suspicious CSRF attempts targeting the plugin’s endpoints. Additionally, site administrators should enforce strict user session management and educate users about the risks of clicking unknown links while authenticated. Developers maintaining the plugin or custom integrations should ensure that all state-changing requests include anti-CSRF tokens and validate the origin of requests. Regular security audits and penetration testing focusing on CSRF and other web vulnerabilities are recommended to identify and remediate similar issues proactively.
