At a glance

CVE-2025-12955 is a high-severity Missing Authorization vulnerability in the PiWeb Live sales notification for WooCommerce WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 2.3.39. It carries a CVSS score of 7.5 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity; high confidentiality impact). Exploitation requires no authentication. The issue is fixed in version 2.3.40; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed November 2025, reported by Athiwat Tiprasaharn (Jitlada).

Vulnerability Overview

The Live sales notification for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.39. This is due to the "getOrders" function lacking proper authorization and capability checks when the plugin is configured to display recent order information. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive customer information including buyer first names, city, state, country, purchase time and date, and product details.

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. A successful exploit has high impact on confidentiality.

CWE-862: Missing Authorization

PiWeb Live sales notification for WooCommerce <= 2.3.39 carries this weakness at getOrders, and reaching it takes no account at all. A missing authorization check means a function is reachable by anyone who can reach the endpoint, because the code never asks whether the caller is allowed to perform the action.

Any user who can reach the endpoint gets to run an action reserved for higher-privileged roles, from reading protected data to changing settings or content. For PiWeb Live sales notification for WooCommerce the fix is 2.3.40: builds <= 2.3.39 are affected, anything from 2.3.40 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 2.3.40, 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: PiWeb Live sales notification for WooCommerce 2.3.40 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
