CVE-2025-32587
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 · uneditedImproper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in pickupp WooCommerce Pickupp wc-pickupp allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects WooCommerce Pickupp: from n/a through <= 2.4.3.
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 confidenceA path traversal vulnerability in the WooCommerce Pickupp plugin (wc-pickupp) allows authenticated or unauthenticated attackers to traverse directories and perform Local File Inclusion (LFI), potentially exposing sensitive server files or enabling code execution.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Locate the WooCommerce Pickupp plugin versionCheck the plugin header in the main plugin file (wc-pickupp.php) located in wp-content/plugins/wc-pickupp/ directory. Look for the 'Version:' field in the plugin file header comments, or query the WordPress database in wp_options table for the plugin's version option if stored there.Affected if The installed version is older than the patched version released for CVE-2025-32587.
-
Verify the plugin is activeQuery the WordPress database: SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'active_plugins' and check if 'wc-pickupp/wc-pickupp.php' appears in the active plugins list, or use the WordPress admin interface to view installed plugins.Affected if The plugin is installed and active, making its vulnerable code accessible.
-
Identify the vulnerable endpointReview the plugin source code in wp-content/plugins/wc-pickupp/ directory, specifically looking for file inclusion functions (include, require, file_get_contents) that use user-supplied parameters without proper sanitization. Common vulnerable parameter names may include 'file', 'path', 'template', 'page', or 'load'.Affected if The plugin contains code that directly uses unsanitized input in file inclusion or file reading functions.
-
Check for directory traversal patterns in HTTP requestsReview web server access logs (Apache error.log, Nginx access.log) and WordPress debug logs for requests containing '../' sequences, particularly targeting the plugin endpoint (e.g., ?action=wc_pickupp&file=../../).Affected if Malicious requests with '../' patterns are present in logs targeting the plugin.
-
Inspect for unauthorized file accessCheck if sensitive files outside the web root have been accessed by reviewing server access logs for unusual file paths, and verify the integrity of WordPress core and plugin files using tools like WordPress File Integrity Monitor or comparing file hashes.Affected if Files outside the expected plugin directory have been accessed or modified.
You are affected if the WooCommerce Pickupp plugin is active and its version predates the patched release for CVE-2025-32587, or if directory traversal attempts appear in your server logs targeting the plugin.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpdate to the latest patched version of the WooCommerce Pickupp plugin. If no patch is available, disable the plugin immediately and implement WAF rules to block directory traversal patterns (../) in HTTP requests.
