CVE-2025-58599 Overview
CVE-2025-58599 is a Missing Authorization vulnerability [CWE-862] in the Tyche Softwares Order Delivery Date for WooCommerce WordPress plugin. The flaw affects all versions up to and including 4.1.0. Authenticated users with low privileges can invoke plugin functionality that should be restricted to higher-privileged roles. The underlying cause is incorrectly configured access control checks on plugin actions. Successful exploitation impacts integrity by allowing unauthorized modification of delivery-related data within a WooCommerce store.
Critical Impact
Authenticated attackers with low privileges can bypass access control checks in the plugin and perform actions reserved for higher-privileged users, affecting order delivery data integrity.
Affected Products
- Tyche Softwares Order Delivery Date for WooCommerce plugin
- All versions from n/a through 4.1.0
- WordPress sites running WooCommerce with this plugin installed

Technical Details for CVE-2025-58599
Vulnerability Analysis
The plugin exposes one or more actions that lack a capability check or nonce enforcement appropriate to the sensitivity of the operation. Any authenticated user session, including low-privilege roles such as subscriber or customer, can send requests to the affected endpoints. The server processes these requests as if the caller were authorized, permitting configuration or data changes intended for administrators or shop managers.
The attack requires network access and authenticated but low-privilege credentials. No user interaction is required. Impact is limited to integrity of delivery-scheduling data; confidentiality and availability of the underlying WordPress installation are not directly affected.
Root Cause
The root cause is classified as CWE-862: Missing Authorization. The plugin registers AJAX or REST handlers without validating the caller's WordPress capability using functions such as current_user_can(), or the validation is applied to a role that is too permissive. As a result, WooCommerce-specific administrative actions become reachable by any logged-in user.
Attack Vector
An attacker registers or logs in as a low-privilege user on a WordPress site running a vulnerable version of the plugin. The attacker then issues a crafted HTTP request to the plugin's exposed endpoint, typically an admin-ajax.php action or a plugin-registered REST route. Because the handler does not verify authorization, the requested change is applied. See the Patchstack Vulnerability Report for additional technical context.
No verified public exploit code is available at the time of publication. The vulnerability mechanism should be described in prose rather than reproduced as synthetic proof-of-concept code.

Stop Identity AttacksDetection Methods for CVE-2025-58599
Indicators of Compromise
- Unexpected changes to WooCommerce delivery date configuration, delivery slots, or holiday schedules made by non-administrative accounts.
- Requests to wp-admin/admin-ajax.php containing plugin action names originating from low-privilege user sessions.
- New or modified delivery records tied to user IDs that do not correspond to shop managers or administrators.
Detection Strategies
- Enumerate installed plugin versions across managed WordPress hosts and flag any order-delivery-date-for-woocommerce at version 4.1.0 or earlier.
- Review web server access logs for POST requests to plugin AJAX or REST endpoints correlated with low-privilege session cookies.
- Audit WordPress user activity logs for delivery configuration changes performed by accounts that lack manage_woocommerce capability.
Monitoring Recommendations
- Ingest WordPress and web server logs into a centralized analytics platform and alert on plugin-endpoint access by non-privileged roles.
- Baseline expected administrative activity for the plugin and generate alerts on deviations.
- Monitor user role assignments and privilege changes on the WordPress installation for anomalies following exploitation attempts.
How to Mitigate CVE-2025-58599
Immediate Actions Required
- Update the Order Delivery Date for WooCommerce plugin to a version later than 4.1.0 once the vendor publishes a fixed release.
- Restrict user registration on production WordPress sites and audit existing low-privilege accounts for legitimacy.
- Review recent delivery date configuration changes and revert any unauthorized modifications.
Patch Information
Refer to the Patchstack Vulnerability Report for vendor patch status and version guidance. The advisory identifies versions through 4.1.0 as affected. Apply the vendor-supplied update through the WordPress plugin manager or via WP-CLI once available.
Workarounds
- Deactivate the plugin until a patched version is installed if delivery scheduling is not business-critical.
- Deploy a web application firewall rule blocking unauthenticated and low-privilege access to the plugin's AJAX and REST endpoints.
- Enforce least privilege by removing unused low-privilege accounts and disabling open self-registration.
# Check installed plugin version using WP-CLI
wp plugin get order-delivery-date-for-woocommerce --field=version
# Deactivate the plugin as a temporary workaround
wp plugin deactivate order-delivery-date-for-woocommerce
# Update the plugin once a fixed release is available
wp plugin update order-delivery-date-for-woocommerce
