CVE-2025-5058: 
WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

The eMagicOne Store Manager for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress contains a critical vulnerability (CVE-2025-5058) discovered in May 2025. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.2.5, allowing unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files to the server through the set_image() function due to missing file type validation. This vulnerability is particularly concerning as it can lead to remote code execution, though it is only exploitable when using default credentials (1:1) or when an attacker has access to valid credentials (NVD).

The vulnerability exists in the plugin's remote management protocol endpoint (?connector=bridge) that handles file uploads. The authentication mechanism relies on default credentials (login=1, password=1) and a session key system. The vulnerability stems from insufficient file type validation in the setimage() function. The attack involves first obtaining a session key by sending a POST request to the bridge endpoint with the default hash (md5('1' . '1') = c4ca4238a0b923820dcc509a6f75849b), then using the setimage task to upload arbitrary files to any writable directory (Ryan Kozak). The vulnerability has received a CVSS v3.1 score of 9.8 CRITICAL (NVD).

If exploited, this vulnerability allows attackers to upload arbitrary files to the affected site's server, potentially leading to remote code execution. The impact is particularly severe as it can be exploited by unauthenticated attackers when default credentials are left unchanged. Successful exploitation could result in complete server compromise, allowing attackers to execute malicious code, access sensitive information, or further compromise the WordPress installation (NVD).

Site administrators should immediately update their authentication credentials from the default values. If an update is available beyond version 1.2.5, it should be installed immediately. Additionally, implementing proper file type validation and strengthening access controls to the bridge endpoint are recommended as temporary mitigations until a patch is available (NVD).
