At a glance
CVE-2025-12358 is a medium-severity Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the ShopEngine Elementor WooCommerce Builder Addon WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 4.8.5. It carries a CVSS score of 4.3 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity). Exploitation requires no authentication. The issue is fixed in version 4.8.6; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed December 2025, reported by Adrian Lukita.
Vulnerability Overview
The ShopEngine Elementor WooCommerce Builder Addon plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 4.8.5. This is due to missing nonce validation on the "post_add_to_list" function as well as an incorrect permissions callback in the "Api/init" function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to add or remove products from a user's wishlist via a forged request granted they can trick a site's user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
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.
CWE-352: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
ShopEngine Elementor WooCommerce Builder Addon <= 4.8.5 carries this weakness at post_add_to_list, and reaching it takes a caller who can reach the endpoint. Cross-site request forgery abuses the fact that browsers attach a victim's cookies to any request, so a state-changing action that only checks who you are, not whether you meant to act, can be triggered from another site.
An attacker who gets a logged-in user to load a crafted page can perform that action as them, with the impact scaling to whatever the victim's role is allowed to do. For ShopEngine Elementor WooCommerce Builder Addon the fix is 4.8.6: builds <= 4.8.5 are affected, anything from 4.8.6 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 4.8.6, or a newer patched version
How does WordSec protect against this?
The attempt arrives as an ordinary request to ShopEngine Elementor WooCommerce Builder Addon: WordSec's web application firewall inspects request payloads before WordPress loads them. None of that substitutes for the fix: ShopEngine Elementor WooCommerce Builder Addon 4.8.6 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
