SQL Injection in WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency with WPML

Publication date: 2026-11-03

Last updated on: 2026-11-03

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency with WPML plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection in all versions up to, and including, 5.5.7. This is due to insufficient input validation on the currency exchange rate parameter in the save_currency() AJAX handler, which lacks capability checks and allows subscriber-level users to store malicious SQL payloads that are later concatenated directly into ORDER BY clauses without proper sanitization. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Shop Manager-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries to extract sensitive information from the database.

CWE-89 The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
