CVE-2025-13389
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 · uneditedThe Admin and Customer Messages After Order for WooCommerce: OrderConvo plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the `get_order_by_id()` function in all versions up to, and including, 14. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to view sensitive WooCommerce order details and private conversation messages between customers and store administrators for any order by supplying an arbitrary order ID.
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.
