CVE-2025-69328 identifies a critical vulnerability in the magepeopleteam Booking and Rental Manager plugin for WooCommerce, specifically versions up to and including 2.5.9. The vulnerability is a deserialization of untrusted data issue, which allows object injection attacks. Deserialization vulnerabilities occur when an application deserializes data from untrusted sources without sufficient validation, enabling attackers to inject malicious objects that can alter program flow or execute arbitrary code. In this case, the Booking and Rental Manager plugin improperly handles serialized data inputs, allowing attackers to craft malicious payloads that, when deserialized, can lead to remote code execution or unauthorized manipulation of booking and rental data. This plugin is commonly used in e-commerce environments to manage rental bookings, making it a valuable target for attackers seeking to disrupt operations or gain unauthorized access. No CVSS score has been assigned yet, and no patches have been released, but the vulnerability was publicly disclosed in February 2026. While no active exploits have been reported, the nature of deserialization vulnerabilities typically allows for relatively straightforward exploitation without requiring authentication or user interaction. This increases the risk profile significantly. The lack of official patches means organizations must rely on alternative mitigation strategies until a fix is available. The vulnerability affects all installations of the plugin up to version 2.5.9, regardless of specific configurations, making the scope broad among users of this software.

The potential impact of CVE-2025-69328 is substantial for organizations using the magepeopleteam Booking and Rental Manager plugin on WooCommerce platforms. Exploitation could lead to remote code execution, allowing attackers to take full control of the affected web server environment. This can result in data breaches, including theft or manipulation of sensitive customer booking information, disruption of rental services, and potential lateral movement within the victim's network. The integrity of booking data could be compromised, leading to fraudulent bookings or cancellations. Availability may also be affected if attackers deploy ransomware or other destructive payloads. Given the plugin's role in managing business-critical booking operations, such disruptions could cause significant financial losses and reputational damage. The ease of exploitation without authentication or user interaction further elevates the threat, making automated attacks feasible. Organizations worldwide that rely on WooCommerce for rental and booking services are at risk, especially those that have not yet updated or mitigated this vulnerability.

Until an official patch is released, organizations should take immediate steps to mitigate the risk posed by CVE-2025-69328. First, restrict access to the affected plugin’s functionality by limiting user permissions and employing web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious serialized payloads. Monitor web server logs for unusual deserialization patterns or unexpected serialized data inputs. Consider disabling or uninstalling the Booking and Rental Manager plugin if it is not essential or if alternative solutions exist. For environments where disabling is not feasible, isolate the affected system segments to reduce potential lateral movement. Keep all WooCommerce and WordPress core components updated to minimize other attack vectors. Engage with the vendor or community forums to track patch releases and apply them promptly once available. Additionally, implement runtime application self-protection (RASP) tools that can detect and block deserialization attacks in real-time. Conduct thorough security audits and penetration testing focused on deserialization vulnerabilities to identify and remediate similar issues.
