VulnerabilityCVE-2025-8898cvecve-2025-8898cwe-862
Published: Sat Aug 16 2025 (08/16/2025, 06:39:23 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: magepeopleteam
Product: E-cab Taxi Booking Manager for Woocommerce

Description

The Taxi Booking Manager for Woocommerce | E-cab plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.0. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's capabilities prior to updating a plugin setting or their identity prior to updating their details like email address. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change arbitrary user's email addresses, including administrators, and leverage that to reset the user's password and gain access to their account. CVE-2025-54713 is likely a duplicate of this issue.

Technical Analysis

The E-cab Taxi Booking Manager for Woocommerce plugin suffers from a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) that enables unauthenticated attackers to modify arbitrary users' email addresses. This lack of capability and identity validation allows attackers to reset passwords and gain unauthorized access to user accounts, including administrators. The issue affects all versions up to and including 1.3.0. CVE-2025-54713 is likely a duplicate of this vulnerability. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 9.8, indicating critical severity with network attack vector, no privileges required, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation allows attackers to take over any user account by changing the email address and resetting the password, including administrator accounts. This leads to full compromise of the affected WordPress site and potentially all data and functionality managed by the plugin and site.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict access to the plugin and monitor for suspicious activity. Avoid using affected versions and consider disabling the plugin if possible.
