At a glance

CVE-2025-12975 is a high-severity Missing Authorization vulnerability in the Product Feed Manager for WooCommerce WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 6.6.11. It carries a CVSS score of 7.2 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity; high confidentiality, integrity, availability impact). Exploitation requires an authenticated account at Shop Manager level or above. The issue is fixed in version 6.6.12; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed February 2026, reported by DityaRA.

Vulnerability Overview

The CTX Feed – WooCommerce Product Feed Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized arbitrary plugin installation due to a missing capability check on the woo_feed_plugin_installing() function in all versions up to, and including, 6.6.11. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Shop Manager-level access and above, to install arbitrary plugins which can be leveraged to achieve remote code execution.

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. A successful exploit has high impact on confidentiality, integrity, availability — full site compromise territory.

CWE-862: Missing Authorization

Product Feed Manager for WooCommerce <= 6.6.11 carries this weakness at woo_feed_plugin_installing(), and reaching it takes an account at Shop Manager level or above. 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 Product Feed Manager for WooCommerce the fix is 6.6.12: builds <= 6.6.11 are affected, anything from 6.6.12 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 6.6.12, 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: Product Feed Manager for WooCommerce 6.6.12 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
