How the Exploit Works

The CVE-2025-54029 vulnerability allows an attacker to manipulate the pathname to access restricted directories. This is due to an inadequate limit set on the pathname in extendons WooCommerce CSV import/export software. By exploiting this, an attacker could potentially gain unauthorized access to sensitive data or even execute malicious commands on the affected system.

Conceptual Example Code

An example of how this vulnerability might be exploited is illustrated below. It involves sending a malicious HTTP request to the server, where `../../../../` represents a path traversal attempt to reach restricted directories.

POST /extendons/woocommerce/csv-import-export HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{ "path": "../../../../etc/passwd" }

In this example, the attacker attempts to access the ‘passwd’ file, a Unix-based file that contains user account details, which is typically restricted and not accessible to unauthorized users or external scripts.

Mitigation Measures

To mitigate the risks associated with CVE-2025-54029, vendors are advised to apply the latest patch released by extendons for the WooCommerce CSV import/export software. In the absence of an immediate patch, implementing a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can serve as a temporary solution to detect and prevent path traversal attempts.
