What is CVE-2025-0956?
CVE-2025-0956 is a high-severity unsafe deserialization vulnerability in FantasticPlugins WooCommerce Recover Abandoned Cart, published on 5 Mar 2025. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
The WooCommerce Recover Abandoned Cart plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 24.4.0 via deserialization of untrusted input from the 'raccookie_guest_email' cookie. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject a PHP Object. No known POP chain is present in the vulnerable software, which means this vulnerability has no impact unless another plugin or theme containing a POP chain is installed on the site. If a POP chain is present via an additional plugin or theme installed on the target system, it may allow the attacker to perform actions like delete arbitrary files, retrieve sensitive data, or execute code depending on the POP chain present.
