CVE-2025-57957
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 · uneditedMissing Authorization vulnerability in wpcraft WooMS wooms allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects WooMS: from n/a through <= 9.12.
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 confidenceThe WooMS WordPress plugin versions through 9.12 contain a missing authorization vulnerability that allows attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels. This likely enables unauthenticated or lower-privileged users to access administrative functions or perform actions that should require higher-level permissions.

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.
-
Confirm WooMS plugin is installedIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for WooMS (WooCommerce Mixer)Affected if WooMS plugin appears in the list of installed plugins
-
Identify installed WooMS versionIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins, find WooMS, and note the version number displayedAffected if Version is 9.12 or lower (the installed version falls within the affected range through 9.12)
-
Check for exposed AJAX endpointsExamine the site for AJAX action hooks related to WooMS by viewing plugin source code or using a tool to enumerate wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wooms* endpointsAffected if AJAX endpoints respond without requiring authentication or capability verification
-
Verify sensitive functions lack capability checksReview plugin source code (if accessible) for functions performing privileged operations and check if they include current_user_can() or similar authorization checks before executionAffected if Sensitive functions execute without verifying user capabilities
-
Test for unauthorized administrative accessAs a non-administrator user or unauthenticated user, attempt to access WooMS administrative functions or trigger AJAX actions that should require elevated privilegesAffected if Actions complete successfully without proper authorization denial
A user is affected if WooMS plugin version 9.12 or lower is installed and the plugin exposes administrative functions or AJAX endpoints that execute without verifying user permissions.

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 dataImplement proper authorization checks (using WordPress capability verification like current_user_can()) on all sensitive functions and AJAX endpoints within the plugin. Validate user permissions before executing any privileged operations.
