Here’s what I found regarding WooCommerce Weight Based Shipping and an alleged version 5.5.5:
🔍 Official Plugin & Changelog
The well-known free version of Weight Based Shipping for WooCommerce is hosted on WordPress.org and has seen updates up to version 5.3.6, with no public listing of anything like 5.5.x as of today stackoverflow.com+15wordpress.org+15wpscan.com+15wpscan.com.
According to WPScan security advisories, version 5.5.0 addressed a specific CSRF vulnerability (“Settings Update via CSRF”)—meaning that prior versions (<5.5.0) were vulnerable, and version 5.5.0 was the first fixed release in that series wpscan.com.
Plugin review sites (e.g. PlugScore) currently list version 5.5.4 as the latest release of the commercial plugin, last updated about 2 years ago plugins.bloggingtips.com.
🧾 Is Version 5.5.5 Real?
- There’s no official changelog or public release notes confirming a version 5.5.5 either on WordPress.org or on typical plugin update pages.
- It’s possible that 5.5.5 refers to a private or internal build—perhaps part of a paid “Pro” variant—but since there’s no release documentation publicly, it’s not verifiable.
