CVE-2025-62995 identifies a missing authorization vulnerability in the MultiParcels Shipping For WooCommerce plugin, specifically affecting versions up to and including 1.30.12. The vulnerability arises from incorrectly configured access control security levels within the plugin, which is responsible for managing shipping logistics in WooCommerce-based e-commerce platforms. Missing authorization means that certain functions or endpoints that should require authenticated and authorized access can be accessed without proper permissions. This could allow an attacker, potentially even unauthenticated, to perform unauthorized actions such as manipulating shipping details, altering order shipment statuses, or accessing sensitive shipping information. The plugin is widely used to facilitate multi-parcel shipping options, making it a critical component for e-commerce businesses relying on WooCommerce. Although no exploits have been reported in the wild, the flaw's presence in a core operational plugin presents a significant risk. The lack of a CVSS score indicates the vulnerability is newly disclosed and pending further assessment. The vulnerability affects confidentiality by potentially exposing shipping data, integrity by allowing unauthorized modifications, and availability if shipping operations are disrupted. Exploitation ease is moderate to high due to missing authorization, and no user interaction is required once the attacker gains access to the vulnerable endpoint. The scope is limited to WooCommerce installations using this plugin, but given WooCommerce's popularity, the affected population is substantial. The vulnerability was reserved and published in late 2025, indicating recent discovery and disclosure.

For European organizations, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access and manipulation of shipping information within WooCommerce e-commerce platforms. This can result in shipment fraud, data leakage of customer shipping details, and disruption of order fulfillment processes. The confidentiality of customer data is at risk, potentially violating GDPR requirements. Integrity of order and shipping data could be compromised, leading to financial losses and reputational damage. Availability impacts could arise if attackers disrupt shipping workflows, causing delays or failures in delivery. E-commerce businesses relying on MultiParcels Shipping For WooCommerce may face operational interruptions and increased risk of fraud. The impact is particularly critical for companies with high volumes of shipments or those handling sensitive goods. Additionally, regulatory compliance issues may arise due to unauthorized data access. The absence of known exploits suggests a window for proactive mitigation, but also the need for vigilance as attackers may develop exploits rapidly after disclosure.

Organizations should immediately inventory their WooCommerce installations to identify if the MultiParcels Shipping For WooCommerce plugin is in use and verify the version. Until an official patch is released, restrict access to the plugin's administrative and shipping-related endpoints using web application firewalls (WAFs) or network access controls to limit exposure. Implement strict role-based access controls (RBAC) within WooCommerce to ensure only trusted users have permissions to manage shipping settings. Monitor logs for unusual access patterns or unauthorized changes to shipping data. Engage with the plugin vendor or community to obtain updates or patches as soon as they become available. Consider temporarily disabling the plugin if feasible without disrupting critical business operations. Conduct penetration testing focused on shipping workflows to identify potential exploitation attempts. Educate staff on the risks associated with this vulnerability and enforce strong authentication mechanisms for administrative access. Finally, maintain regular backups of e-commerce data to enable recovery in case of compromise.
