SQL Injection in WC Vendors WordPress Plugin

Publication date: 2026-08-16

Last updated on: 2026-08-16

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The WC Vendors – WooCommerce Multivendor, WooCommerce Marketplace, Product Vendors plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'status' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.7.0 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 shop manager-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. The sanitize_text_field callback strips HTML but leaves SQL metacharacters intact, and wp_magic_quotes slash protection does not apply because WP_REST_Server::serve_request() calls wp_unslash() on GET parameters before the sanitize callback executes.

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 is a SQL Injection vulnerability in the WC Vendors – WooCommerce Multivendor plugin for WordPress. It exists due to insufficient escaping of the 'status' parameter and lack of proper SQL query preparation in versions up to 2.7.0. Authenticated attackers with shop manager-level access or higher can inject malicious SQL queries to extract sensitive database information.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability can be detected by checking for unusual SQL query patterns or unauthorized database access attempts. Review WordPress logs for suspicious GET requests targeting the 'status' parameter in WC Vendors or related plugins. Use tools like grep to search for patterns like 'status=' in access logs combined with SQL keywords such as UNION, SELECT, or INSERT.

Impact Analysis

If you use the affected plugin versions, an attacker with sufficient access could steal sensitive data from your WordPress database, such as user credentials, payment information, or other confidential details. This could lead to data breaches, financial loss, or unauthorized access to your site.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to personal or sensitive data, which may violate GDPR, HIPAA, or other privacy regulations. Organizations could face legal penalties, fines, or reputational damage if such a breach occurs due to inadequate security measures.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update the WC Vendors plugin to version 2.7.1 or later. If an update is unavailable, disable the plugin temporarily. Review user roles with shop manager access and above, restricting unnecessary permissions. Monitor database queries for anomalies and consider using a web application firewall to block suspicious requests.
