CVE-2025-69027 identifies a missing authorization vulnerability in the Product Delivery Date for WooCommerce – Lite plugin developed by tychesoftwares, affecting all versions up to and including 3.2.0. The vulnerability arises from incorrectly configured access control security levels, allowing users with low privileges (PR:L) to perform actions that should require higher authorization. Specifically, this flaw enables unauthorized users to manipulate or access delivery date configurations within WooCommerce stores, potentially leading to information disclosure and integrity violations. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.4 (medium), with an attack vector of network (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), privileges required (PR:L), no user interaction (UI:N), unchanged scope (S:U), and impacts on confidentiality and integrity (C:L/I:L) but no impact on availability (A:N). This means an attacker with some level of authenticated access can exploit the vulnerability remotely without needing victim interaction. Although no public exploits are currently known, the vulnerability could be leveraged to disrupt e-commerce operations by altering delivery information, misleading customers, or gathering sensitive configuration data. The issue is particularly relevant for WooCommerce installations using this plugin, which is popular among small to medium-sized online retailers. The vulnerability was published on December 30, 2025, and no patches or exploit mitigations are currently listed, indicating a need for vendor action and user vigilance.

For European organizations, especially e-commerce businesses relying on WooCommerce with the Product Delivery Date for WooCommerce – Lite plugin, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized modification of delivery date settings, resulting in customer dissatisfaction, loss of trust, and potential financial losses. Confidentiality impacts could expose sensitive configuration details that might assist further attacks. Integrity impacts could allow attackers to manipulate delivery information, potentially causing operational disruptions or reputational damage. While availability is not directly impacted, the indirect effects on business continuity could be significant. Given the widespread use of WooCommerce in Europe, particularly in countries with strong e-commerce sectors such as Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and the Netherlands, the threat is relevant. Attackers exploiting this vulnerability could target online retailers to disrupt services or gain footholds for further attacks. The medium severity indicates a moderate risk but one that should not be ignored, especially in highly competitive or regulated markets.

Organizations should monitor tychesoftwares announcements for patches addressing CVE-2025-69027 and apply updates promptly once available. Until a patch is released, restrict access to the plugin’s administrative interfaces to trusted users only, employing role-based access controls to limit privileges. Implement network-level restrictions such as IP whitelisting or VPN access for administrative functions. Conduct regular audits of user permissions within WooCommerce to ensure no unnecessary privileges are granted. Enable detailed logging and monitoring to detect unauthorized access attempts or changes to delivery date configurations. Consider deploying web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to block suspicious requests targeting the plugin’s endpoints. Educate staff about the risks of privilege misuse and enforce strong authentication mechanisms for all users with plugin access. Finally, maintain offline backups of critical e-commerce configurations to enable quick recovery if unauthorized changes occur.
