Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File vulnerability in Octolize USPS Shipping for WooCommerce – Live Rates.This issue affects USPS Shipping for WooCommerce – Live Rates: from n/a through 1.9.4.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

The Octolize USPS Shipping for WooCommerce plugin versions through 1.9.4 contain a log injection vulnerability where sensitive information (likely API credentials, shipping data, or user details) is being written to log files without proper sanitization or redaction. This allows unauthorized access to logs to potentially retrieve confidential data.

MitigationUpdate the USPS Shipping for WooCommerce plugin to the latest version (1.9.5 or later), which should contain patches to properly redact or mask sensitive information before logging. Review existing log files for any exposed sensitive data and rotate credentials as a precaution.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Check if the USPS Shipping for WooCommerce plugin is installed
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'Octolize USPS Shipping for WooCommerce' or 'USPS Shipping for WooCommerce', or check the plugins directory for the presence of files containing 'octolize' or 'usps-shipping' in /wp-content/plugins/
    Affected if The plugin is installed and the version is 1.9.4 or lower
  2. Identify the installed plugin version
    In WordPress admin_plugins list, view the plugin details to see the version number, or read the main plugin file (usually usps-shipping-for-woocommerce.php or similar) and look for the 'Version:' header in the file comments
    Affected if Version shown is 1.9.4 or any version below 1.9.5
  3. Determine if logging is enabled
    In WordPress admin, go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping > USPS and look for any logging-related options or debug settings; alternatively check the plugin configuration files and database options for 'logging', 'debug', or 'log' settings set to true or enabled
    Affected if Logging or debug mode is turned on
  4. Locate and examine plugin log files
    Check for log files in /wp-content/uploads/ or /wp-content/debug.log, or in a dedicated logs folder within the plugin directory; also check /wp-content/logs/ if it exists; open any log files and search for patterns resembling API credentials, passwords, usernames, or shipping-related personal information
    Affected if Log files exist and contain unsanitized sensitive data such as API keys, passwords, or personal customer information
  5. Check for publicly accessible log files
    Attempt to access common log paths via browser (e.g., /wp-content/uploads/woocommerce/logs/usps-*.log, /wp-content/debug.log) or use directory listing checks to see if log files are stored in web-accessible locations
    Affected if Log files are stored in web-accessible directories withouthtaccess protection

You are affected if the Octolize USPS Shipping for WooCommerce plugin is installed at version 1.9.4 or lower AND logging is enabled, resulting in sensitive data being written to accessible log files.
