CVE-2025-62995 identifies a missing authorization vulnerability in the MultiParcels Shipping plugin for WooCommerce, versions up to 1.30.12. The flaw arises from incorrectly configured access control security levels, which fail to properly restrict actions to authorized users only. This allows attackers with limited privileges (e.g., authenticated users with lower-level roles) to perform actions that should be restricted, potentially modifying shipping configurations or other integrity-sensitive data. The vulnerability does not impact confidentiality or availability directly but can lead to unauthorized changes affecting the integrity of shipping processes. The CVSS v3.1 score is 4.3 (medium), reflecting network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), requiring privileges (PR:L), no user interaction (UI:N), unchanged scope (S:U), no confidentiality or availability impact, but partial integrity impact (I:L). No public exploits are known at this time, but the risk exists for organizations using this plugin in their WooCommerce e-commerce platforms. The vulnerability was published on December 9, 2025, and was reserved on October 24, 2025. The vendor has not yet provided patches, so mitigation currently relies on configuration review and monitoring.

For European organizations, particularly those operating e-commerce platforms using WooCommerce with the MultiParcels Shipping plugin, this vulnerability poses a risk to the integrity of shipping data and configurations. Unauthorized modifications could lead to incorrect shipping details, misrouted parcels, or manipulation of shipping costs, potentially causing financial losses, customer dissatisfaction, and reputational damage. While the vulnerability does not directly expose sensitive customer data or disrupt service availability, the integrity compromise can indirectly affect business operations and trust. Organizations with complex shipping logistics or high transaction volumes are more vulnerable to operational disruptions. Additionally, regulatory compliance related to e-commerce and consumer protection in Europe may be impacted if shipping errors result from exploitation.

1. Monitor the vendor’s official channels for patches addressing CVE-2025-62995 and apply them promptly once available. 2. In the interim, conduct a thorough review of the MultiParcels Shipping plugin’s access control settings within WooCommerce to ensure that only authorized roles have permissions to modify shipping configurations. 3. Restrict plugin management capabilities to trusted administrators and avoid granting elevated privileges to general users. 4. Implement logging and monitoring of changes to shipping settings to detect unauthorized modifications quickly. 5. Consider temporarily disabling the MultiParcels Shipping plugin if it is not critical to operations until a patch is released. 6. Educate staff managing WooCommerce about the vulnerability and the importance of strict role-based access control. 7. Regularly audit user roles and permissions in WooCommerce to minimize privilege creep. 8. Employ web application firewalls (WAF) with rules to detect anomalous requests targeting shipping configuration endpoints.
