In cases where immediate patching is not possible, the use of a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can help to mitigate the risk temporarily.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview The CVE-2025-48317 identifies a critical path traversal vulnerability in the WooCommerce Payment Gateway for Saferpay, developed by Stefan Keller.
