CVE-2025-62976 identifies a Missing Authorization vulnerability in the Joovii Sendle Shipping plugin, specifically in the official-sendle-shipping-method component, affecting versions up to 6.02. This vulnerability arises because certain functionality is accessible without proper Access Control List (ACL) enforcement, allowing unauthenticated attackers to invoke functions that should be restricted. The vulnerability is exploitable remotely over the network without any authentication or user interaction, increasing its accessibility. However, the impact is limited to confidentiality, with no direct effect on data integrity or system availability. The vulnerability does not have known exploits in the wild as of its publication date. The plugin is commonly used in e-commerce platforms to facilitate shipping logistics, so exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to shipping-related data or internal functions. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) indicates low attack complexity and no privileges or user interaction required, but only limited confidentiality impact. The lack of patch links suggests that a fix may not yet be publicly available, emphasizing the need for vigilance and interim mitigations.

For European organizations, the primary impact is unauthorized disclosure of potentially sensitive shipping or logistics data managed through the Sendle Shipping plugin. This could expose customer information, shipment details, or internal operational data, potentially leading to privacy violations or competitive disadvantage. While the vulnerability does not allow modification or disruption of services, the confidentiality breach could undermine trust and compliance with data protection regulations such as GDPR. Organizations relying heavily on e-commerce and integrated shipping solutions may face increased risk, especially if the plugin is widely deployed. The absence of known exploits reduces immediate risk, but the ease of exploitation and network accessibility mean attackers could develop exploits rapidly. This vulnerability could also be leveraged as part of a broader attack chain to gather intelligence for subsequent attacks.

1. Monitor Joovii’s official channels for patches addressing CVE-2025-62976 and apply updates promptly once available. 2. Until patches are released, restrict network access to the Sendle Shipping plugin endpoints using firewall rules or web application firewalls (WAF) to limit exposure to trusted IPs or internal networks only. 3. Implement strict access control policies at the application and infrastructure layers to enforce authentication and authorization rigorously. 4. Conduct thorough audits of user permissions and plugin configurations to ensure no unnecessary exposure of sensitive functions. 5. Enable detailed logging and monitoring of all access to the Sendle Shipping plugin to detect anomalous or unauthorized access attempts early. 6. Educate relevant IT and security teams about the vulnerability to maintain heightened vigilance. 7. Consider temporary disabling or isolating the vulnerable plugin if feasible without disrupting critical business operations.
