Time-Based SQL Injection in Dokan Pro WordPress Plugin

Publication date: 2026-06-25

Last updated on: 2026-06-26

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The Dokan Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the ’orderby’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.4 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

CWE ID Description
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.

Executive Summary

The Dokan Pro plugin for WordPress has a time-based SQL Injection vulnerability in the 'orderby' parameter in all versions up to and including 5.0.4. This occurs because the plugin does not properly escape user-supplied input and does not sufficiently prepare the existing SQL query.

Authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access or higher can exploit this vulnerability by appending additional SQL queries to existing ones, potentially extracting sensitive information from the database.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability allows attackers with low-level authenticated access to extract sensitive information from the database by injecting malicious SQL queries.

The impact includes potential data breaches where confidential data could be exposed, leading to loss of data confidentiality.

Compliance Impact

The provided information does not specify how the Dokan Pro plugin vulnerability impacts compliance with common standards and regulations such as GDPR or HIPAA.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate the time-based SQL Injection vulnerability in the Dokan Pro plugin, you should immediately update the plugin to a version later than 5.0.4 where the issue is fixed.

Additionally, restrict Subscriber-level access and above to trusted users only, as the vulnerability requires authenticated access.

Consider implementing Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block suspicious SQL injection attempts targeting the 'orderby' parameter.
