Deferred Deferred - Pending Action

SQL Injection in Paymob for WooCommerce Plugin

Publication date: 2026-08-14

Last updated on: 2026-08-26

Assigner: WPScan

Description
The Paymob for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 4.1.9 does not properly sanitise a client-supplied identifier before using it in a SQL query within its public, unauthenticated payment callback, and performs this query before verifying the payment provider's HMAC signature. This allows unauthenticated attackers to perform SQL injection and read arbitrary data from the database — including user credentials and other secrets — through both in-band (reflected) and time-based blind extraction.

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

This vulnerability is in the Paymob for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before version 4.1.9. It allows unauthenticated attackers to perform SQL injection by exploiting improper sanitization of a client-supplied identifier in a public payment callback. The SQL query runs before verifying the payment provider's HMAC signature, enabling attackers to read arbitrary data from the database, including user credentials.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, check the installed version of the Paymob for WooCommerce plugin. If it is below 4.1.9, the system is vulnerable. Use WordPress admin panel or run a command like 'wp plugin list' in the WordPress directory to verify the version.

Impact Analysis

Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this to extract sensitive data like user credentials and other secrets from your database. They can use both in-band and time-based blind SQL injection techniques to access this information without needing to log in.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to personal data, violating GDPR and HIPAA compliance. Exposure of user credentials and other sensitive data may result in regulatory penalties, data breach notifications, and loss of trust.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update the Paymob for WooCommerce plugin to version 4.1.9 or later. If updating is not possible, consider disabling the plugin until an update is applied to prevent exploitation.
