CVE-2025-57905 Overview
CVE-2025-57905 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the AgreeMe Checkboxes For WooCommerce WordPress plugin developed by Amin Y. The flaw affects all plugin versions from unspecified initial release through 1.1.3. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-352 and requires user interaction to exploit. An attacker can craft malicious requests that, when triggered by an authenticated user visiting an attacker-controlled page, execute unwanted actions in the context of the victim's WordPress session.
Critical Impact
Successful exploitation allows attackers to modify plugin state or settings through forged authenticated requests, undermining the integrity of WooCommerce checkout consent configurations.
Affected Products
- AgreeMe Checkboxes For WooCommerce plugin versions through 1.1.3
- WordPress installations running the agreeme-checkboxes-for-woocommerce plugin
- WooCommerce deployments relying on this plugin for checkout consent checkboxes

Technical Details for CVE-2025-57905
Vulnerability Analysis
The AgreeMe Checkboxes For WooCommerce plugin fails to validate the origin of state-changing HTTP requests. WordPress provides nonce-based CSRF protection through functions such as wp_nonce_field() and check_admin_referer(), but the affected plugin does not consistently apply these checks on sensitive endpoints. This omission allows attackers to construct HTML forms or JavaScript payloads on external sites that trigger authenticated actions when an administrator visits the malicious page.
The attack requires user interaction, typically an administrator clicking a crafted link or loading a page containing the forged request. Because the request is executed with the victim's session credentials, the plugin processes it as legitimate. The integrity impact is limited but real, enabling unauthorized modification of plugin behavior.
Root Cause
The root cause is missing or improperly implemented anti-CSRF token validation on plugin request handlers. WordPress plugins must verify a valid nonce before processing state-changing operations, and the AgreeMe plugin lacks this control on one or more endpoints through version 1.1.3.
Attack Vector
Exploitation occurs over the network and requires an authenticated victim, typically a site administrator, to interact with attacker-controlled content. The attacker hosts a page containing a hidden form or fetch call targeting the vulnerable plugin endpoint on the victim's WordPress site. When the victim visits the page while logged in, the browser automatically sends session cookies, and the request is processed without origin validation.
No verified proof-of-concept code is publicly available. See the Patchstack WordPress Vulnerability advisory for additional technical details.
Detection Methods for CVE-2025-57905
Indicators of Compromise
- Unexpected changes to AgreeMe Checkboxes plugin configuration or checkbox definitions in the WooCommerce admin panel
- HTTP POST requests to plugin endpoints originating from external Referer headers
- Administrator actions logged in WordPress audit trails that do not correspond to legitimate admin sessions
Detection Strategies
- Inspect web server access logs for requests to wp-admin/admin.php or plugin-specific endpoints containing suspicious cross-origin Referer values
- Enable WordPress activity logging plugins to capture configuration changes tied to the AgreeMe plugin
- Deploy a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with rules to detect requests to WordPress admin endpoints lacking valid nonce parameters
Monitoring Recommendations
- Alert on plugin option changes recorded in the wp_options table for keys associated with agreeme or agreeme-checkboxes-for-woocommerce
- Correlate administrator login sessions with sensitive request timestamps to identify anomalous activity patterns
- Monitor outbound traffic from administrator workstations for connections to known phishing or malicious link infrastructure
How to Mitigate CVE-2025-57905
Immediate Actions Required
- Update the AgreeMe Checkboxes For WooCommerce plugin to a version newer than 1.1.3 as soon as the vendor releases a patched release
- Audit WordPress administrator accounts and enforce least privilege for users who manage WooCommerce configuration
- Require administrators to log out of WordPress before browsing untrusted external sites
Patch Information
At the time of publication, the vulnerability affects versions through 1.1.3. Refer to the Patchstack advisory for the latest patch status and upgrade guidance.
Workarounds
- Temporarily deactivate the AgreeMe Checkboxes For WooCommerce plugin until a patched version is available
- Deploy a WAF rule enforcing Referer and Origin header validation on WordPress admin endpoints
- Use browser session isolation or separate administrator browser profiles to reduce cross-site attack surface
- Enable two-factor authentication on all WordPress administrator accounts to limit the value of session hijack attempts
