CVE-2025-68029 is a vulnerability classified under CWE-201 (Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data) found in the WP Swings Wallet System for WooCommerce plugin, affecting versions up to 2.7.2. This vulnerability allows an attacker with network access and low privileges to retrieve sensitive data that is improperly embedded into data sent by the plugin. The flaw arises because the plugin inserts sensitive information into outgoing data streams without adequate protection or sanitization, potentially exposing confidential user or transaction data during transmission. The vulnerability does not require user interaction, increasing the risk of automated exploitation. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.3, indicating a medium severity with the vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L, meaning the attack can be performed remotely over the network with low attack complexity and low privileges, without user interaction, and impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability to a limited extent. No public exploits are known at this time, but the vulnerability poses a risk to e-commerce platforms relying on this plugin for wallet and payment functionalities. The issue is significant because sensitive financial or personal information leakage can lead to fraud, unauthorized transactions, or reputational damage. The vulnerability was reserved in December 2025 and published in January 2026, indicating recent discovery and disclosure.

For European organizations, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive payment or wallet-related data, potentially resulting in financial fraud, identity theft, or regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR violations). The integrity of transaction data may also be compromised, leading to incorrect wallet balances or transaction records, which can disrupt business operations and customer trust. Availability impacts, while limited, could affect wallet system functionality, causing service interruptions. Organizations heavily reliant on WooCommerce for e-commerce, especially those using the WP Swings Wallet System plugin, face increased risk. The exposure of sensitive data could trigger legal penalties under European data protection laws and damage brand reputation. Additionally, attackers exploiting this vulnerability could use the leaked information as a foothold for further attacks within the network. The medium severity rating suggests a moderate but actionable risk that should be addressed promptly to avoid escalation.

1. Monitor WP Swings and WooCommerce official channels for patches addressing CVE-2025-68029 and apply updates immediately upon release. 2. Until a patch is available, restrict network access to the Wallet System plugin endpoints to trusted IPs and internal networks only. 3. Conduct a thorough review of data transmission mechanisms within the plugin to identify and block any leakage of sensitive information, possibly using web application firewalls (WAF) with custom rules. 4. Implement strict access controls and least privilege principles for users and services interacting with the Wallet System plugin to minimize the risk of exploitation. 5. Enable detailed logging and monitoring of wallet-related transactions to detect anomalies indicative of exploitation attempts. 6. Educate development and security teams on secure coding practices related to data handling and transmission to prevent similar issues in future plugin versions. 7. Consider isolating the wallet system functionality in a segmented network zone to limit potential lateral movement if exploited. 8. Review compliance with GDPR and other relevant regulations to ensure that any data exposure is promptly reported and mitigated.
