CVE-2025-62091

Vulnerability

Overview The Serial Codes Generator and Validator with WooCommerce Support plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 2.8.2 contains a missing authorization vulnerability. This flaw stems from improperly configured access control security levels, which can be exploited by unauthenticated or low-privilege users to perform actions that should require higher privileges [1].

Exploitation

Attackers can leverage this vulnerability by sending crafted requests to endpoints that lack proper authorization checks. No authentication is required if the vulnerable functions are exposed to unauthenticated users, or an attacker with minimal privileges can escalate their access. The attack surface is the web interface of the plugin, and exploitation does not require any special network position beyond normal HTTP access to the WordPress site [1].

Impact

Successful exploitation allows an attacker to bypass intended access controls, potentially enabling unauthorized generation or validation of serial codes, manipulation of settings, or other actions restricted to administrators. The CVSS score of 5.4 indicates medium severity, and while the vendor assesses the likelihood of exploitation as low, such vulnerabilities are often targeted in mass-exploit campaigns [1].

Mitigation

Users are advised to update the plugin to version 2.8.3 or later, which addresses the authorization issue. For Patchstack users, enabling auto-updates for vulnerable plugins is recommended. If immediate update is not possible, consulting with hosting providers or web developers for temporary workarounds is advised [1].
