CVE-2025-8097: CWE-20 Improper Input Validation in xTemos Woodmart
The WoodMart theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Improper Input Validation in all versions up to, and including, 8.2.6. This is due to insufficient validation of the qty parameter in the woodmart_update_cart_item function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to manipulate cart quantities using fractional values, allowing them to obtain products for free by setting extremely small quantities (e.g., 0.00001) that round cart totals to $0.00, effectively bypassing payment requirements and allowing unauthorized acquisition of virtual or downloadable products.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The WoodMart WordPress theme suffers from improper input validation (CWE-20) in the handling of the qty parameter within the woodmart_update_cart_item function. Attackers can submit fractional quantities (e.g., 0.00001) which the system rounds down, resulting in cart totals of $0.00. This allows unauthenticated users to bypass payment and obtain products without charge. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 8.2.6. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.3 (medium), reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, no confidentiality or availability impact, and limited integrity impact.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows unauthorized users to manipulate cart quantities to effectively obtain products for free by bypassing payment. This impacts the integrity of transactions and can lead to financial loss for merchants using the affected WoodMart theme. There is no reported impact on confidentiality or availability. The vulnerability does not require authentication and can be exploited remotely.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no official patch or fix is currently documented, users should monitor the vendor's communications for updates. Until a fix is available, consider implementing server-side validation or custom input filtering to reject fractional quantities in the cart. Avoid relying solely on client-side validation to mitigate this issue.
