At a glance

CVE-2025-12039 is a medium-severity Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in the BigBuy Dropshipping Connector for WooCommerce WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 2.0.5. It carries a CVSS score of 5.3 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity). Exploitation requires no authentication.

Vulnerability Overview

The BigBuy Dropshipping Connector for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to IP Address Spoofing in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.5 due to insufficient IP address validation and use of user-supplied HTTP headers as a primary method for IP retrieval. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to retrieve the output of phpinfo().

Technical Analysis

The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no privileges on the target site, and no interaction from a victim user.

CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor

BigBuy Dropshipping Connector for WooCommerce <= 2.0.5 carries this weakness at phpinfo(), and reaching it takes no account at all. Sensitive information exposure means data the application intended to keep internal is returned to a caller who should not be able to see it.

The disclosed data — credentials, tokens, customer records or internal paths — is usually worth more as material for a follow-up attack than as an end in itself. For BigBuy Dropshipping Connector for WooCommerce the fix is 2.1.0: builds <= 2.0.5 are affected, anything from 2.1.0 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 2.1.0, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

This one needs no account at all, which puts it outside what login hardening can reach; WordSec's login security narrows the account-level paths around it, and the firewall is what inspects the request itself. None of that substitutes for the fix: BigBuy Dropshipping Connector for WooCommerce 2.1.0 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
