CVE-2025-0956: WooCommerce Recover Abandoned Cart plugin can let attackers inject code

CVE-2025-0956 · published 1 year ago

Summary

All versions of the WooCommerce Recover Abandoned Cart plugin for WordPress up to 24.4.0 accept data from a cookie that can be manipulated to insert a malicious object. By itself this does not cause damage, but if another installed plugin or theme contains code that can be triggered by that object, an attacker could delete files, steal data, or run unwanted commands. Update the plugin to the latest version or replace it, and review other plugins and themes for any that might provide such a trigger.

Original advisory text

The WooCommerce Recover Abandoned Cart plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 24.4.0 via deserialization of untrusted input from the 'raccookie_guest_email' cookie. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject a PHP Object. No known POP chain is present in the vulnerable software, which means this vulnerability has no impact unless another plugin or theme containing a POP chain is installed on the site. If a POP chain is present via an additional plugin or theme installed on the target system, it may allow the attacker to perform actions like delete arbitrary files, retrieve sensitive data, or execute code depending on the POP chain present.
