Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-68552 is an Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement vulnerability, classified as PHP Local File Inclusion (CWE-98), in the WebCodingPlace WooCommerce Coming Soon Product with Countdown WordPress plugin (woo-coming-soon-product). This issue affects all versions from n/a through 5.0. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) and was published on 2026-02-20.

An attacker with low privileges (PR:L) can exploit this over the network (AV:N) with high complexity (AC:H) and no user interaction (UI:N). Successful exploitation allows high-impact compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H) within the unchanged scope (S:U), enabling the inclusion of arbitrary local PHP files and potentially leading to sensitive data disclosure or remote code execution.
