At a glance

CVE-2025-11888 is a low-severity Incorrect Authorization vulnerability in the ShopEngine Elementor WooCommerce Builder Addon WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 4.8.4. It carries a CVSS score of 2.7 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity). Exploitation requires an authenticated account at Editor level or above. The issue is fixed in version 4.8.5; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed October 2025, reported by Jonas Benjamin Friedli.

Vulnerability Overview

The ShopEngine Elementor WooCommerce Builder Addon – All in One WooCommerce Solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to an insufficient capability check on the post_deactive() function and post_activate() function in all versions up to, and including, 4.8.4. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Editor-level access and above, to activate and deactivate licenses.

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 interaction from a victim user.

CWE-863: Incorrect Authorization

ShopEngine Elementor WooCommerce Builder Addon <= 4.8.4 carries this weakness at post_deactive(), and reaching it takes an account at Editor level or above. Incorrect authorization means a permission check exists but evaluates the wrong thing, so it passes for callers it was meant to stop.

The action runs for users the code intended to exclude, with the same effect as having no check at all. For ShopEngine Elementor WooCommerce Builder Addon the fix is 4.8.5: builds <= 4.8.4 are affected, anything from 4.8.5 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 4.8.5, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

Because it turns on account access, WordSec's login security is the relevant layer: role-based two-factor, captcha and brute-force limits raise the cost of getting the account this needs. None of that substitutes for the fix: ShopEngine Elementor WooCommerce Builder Addon 4.8.5 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
