CVE-2025-68029 is a vulnerability categorized under CWE-201, which involves the insertion of sensitive information into sent data within the WP Swings Wallet System for WooCommerce plugin. This plugin facilitates wallet and payment functionalities for WooCommerce, a widely used e-commerce platform on WordPress. The vulnerability allows an attacker with low privileges (PR:L) to remotely exploit the system over the network (AV:N) without requiring user interaction (UI:N). The flaw results in the unauthorized retrieval of embedded sensitive data, which may include user credentials, payment details, or wallet balances. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 2.7.2, with no patches currently available. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.3, reflecting a medium severity level due to the combined impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:L/I:L/A:L). The scope remains unchanged (S:U), meaning the exploit affects only the vulnerable component without extending to other system components. Although no known exploits are reported in the wild, the potential for data leakage and manipulation of wallet transactions poses a significant risk to e-commerce operations relying on this plugin. The vulnerability arises from improper handling or insertion of sensitive data into outbound communications, which could be intercepted or misused by attackers. This issue demands attention from site administrators and developers to prevent data breaches and financial fraud.

For European organizations, particularly those operating e-commerce platforms using WooCommerce with the WP Swings Wallet System plugin, this vulnerability could lead to exposure of sensitive customer and transactional data. This exposure risks undermining customer trust, violating data protection regulations such as GDPR, and causing financial losses through fraudulent transactions or wallet manipulation. The integrity of wallet balances and transaction records may be compromised, potentially leading to disputes and operational disruptions. Availability impacts, though rated low to medium, could affect payment processing reliability. Organizations handling large volumes of transactions or sensitive financial data are at higher risk. The vulnerability's network exploitability and lack of required user interaction increase the likelihood of automated attacks, making timely mitigation critical. Failure to address this issue could also result in reputational damage and regulatory penalties within the European Union and other jurisdictions with strict data privacy laws.

1. Monitor WP Swings official channels and trusted vulnerability databases for the release of patches addressing CVE-2025-68029 and apply updates immediately upon availability. 2. Restrict access to the Wallet System plugin's administrative and API interfaces using network segmentation, IP whitelisting, or VPNs to limit exposure to trusted users only. 3. Implement strict logging and monitoring of wallet-related transactions and data flows to detect anomalous activities indicative of exploitation attempts. 4. Conduct regular security audits and code reviews of the WooCommerce environment and plugins to identify and remediate insecure data handling practices. 5. Employ web application firewalls (WAF) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious requests targeting the Wallet System plugin. 6. Educate site administrators and developers on secure coding practices and the importance of safeguarding sensitive information in transit. 7. Consider temporary disabling or replacing the vulnerable plugin with alternative wallet solutions until a secure version is released. 8. Ensure all sensitive data transmissions use strong encryption (e.g., TLS 1.2 or higher) to mitigate interception risks. 9. Review and enforce the principle of least privilege for all user accounts interacting with the WooCommerce environment.
