Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2025-24553 is a reflected cross-site scripting flaw in the Shipping with Venipak for WooCommerce WordPress plugin through version 1.22.3. An attacker would need to trick a user into interacting with a crafted link or page. Successful exploitation could expose data, alter page behavior, or disrupt user sessions in the victim’s browser.
Executive priority
Treat this as a high-priority web application risk for affected WooCommerce sites, especially stores with administrator traffic. It is not currently evidenced as actively exploited in the provided sources, but XSS in ecommerce plugins can create business risk through session abuse, customer trust impact, and storefront tampering.
Technical view
The issue is CWE-79: improper neutralization of input during web page generation. It affects Akadrama wc-venipak-shipping through <= 1.22.3. CVSS 3.1 is 7.1: network exploitable, low complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, changed scope, and low confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to WordPress/WooCommerce sites using Shipping with Venipak for WooCommerce version 1.22.3 or earlier. Sites not using this plugin are not affected based on the provided sources.
Exploitation context
The sources do not indicate known active exploitation, and the CVE is not listed as KEV in the provided data. Because this is reflected XSS, exploitation generally depends on convincing a user, often an administrator or shopper, to open attacker-controlled content.
Researcher notes
Provided data identifies the class, affected plugin, version range, and CVSS vector, but does not include a fixed version or detailed vulnerable parameter. Avoid assuming exploitability beyond reflected XSS with user interaction. Validate exposure through asset inventory and vendor advisory tracking.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for the wc-venipak-shipping plugin.
- Identify plugin versions and prioritize any version <= 1.22.3.
- Check the vendor, WordPress plugin page, or Patchstack for update guidance.
- Apply an available fixed version if the vendor provides one.
- If no fix is available, consider disabling the plugin until guidance exists.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether the plugin is installed on each WooCommerce site.
- Record installed plugin version and compare against <= 1.22.3.
- Review vendor and Patchstack advisories for patched-version information.
- Check web access logs for suspicious requests to plugin-related pages.
- Verify remediation by confirming the plugin is updated or disabled.

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
