CVE-2025-0956
Published: 05 March 2025
Summary
CVE-2025-0956 is a high-severity Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CWE-502) vulnerability in Codecanyon (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 8.1 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 25.2% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).
Deeper analysis
The WooCommerce Recover Abandoned Cart plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions through 24.4.0. The flaw stems from unsafe deserialization of untrusted data supplied via the raccookie_guest_email cookie, which permits an attacker to inject arbitrary PHP objects. The issue is tracked as CWE-502 and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.1.
Unauthenticated remote attackers can supply a malicious cookie value to trigger the deserialization. Because the plugin itself contains no known property-oriented programming chain, exploitation requires the presence of a compatible POP chain in another plugin or theme on the same site; when such a chain exists, the attacker may be able to delete files, exfiltrate data, or execute arbitrary code.
Public references from the vendor marketplace and Wordfence threat intelligence describe the affected versions and note that the vulnerability is mitigated once a POP-chain-free environment is ensured or the plugin is updated beyond 24.4.0.
EPSS for the CVE rose from a low baseline to a recorded peak of 0.0162, indicating measurable post-disclosure exploitation interest.

Vulnerability details
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.

Enforces validation of untrusted inputs from cookies like 'raccookie_guest_email' before deserialization, directly preventing PHP object injection.
Requires identification, reporting, and correction of the deserialization flaw in the WooCommerce Recover Abandoned Cart plugin up to version 24.4.0.
Prohibits or restricts unnecessary plugins and themes, reducing the likelihood of a POP chain being available to exploit the object injection vulnerability.
