SQL Injection in Shopping Cart & eCommerce Store WordPress Plugin

Publication date: 2026-09-01

Last updated on: 2026-09-01

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The Shopping Cart & eCommerce Store plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'product_order' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.9.2 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 administrator-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. This is a second-order SQL injection: the payload is written to the ec_pageoption table via the ec_ajax_save_page_options handler — which applies no sanitization to raw $_POST values — and is later retrieved with stripslashes() (bypassing WordPress magic-quotes protection) before being concatenated directly into SQL on every store page render.

KEV Icon
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 second-order SQL injection vulnerability in the Shopping Cart & eCommerce Store WordPress plugin up to version 5.9.2. It allows authenticated attackers with admin access to inject malicious SQL queries via the 'product_order' parameter. The payload is stored in the database without sanitization and later executed when pages render, potentially exposing sensitive data.

Detection Guidance

Check WordPress plugins for the Shopping Cart & eCommerce Store plugin version 5.9.2 or lower. Look for suspicious SQL queries in logs or database activity. Use tools like WP-CLI to inspect plugin versions and database interactions.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, attackers could extract sensitive database information such as user credentials, payment details, or other confidential data. Since it requires admin-level access, the risk is limited to authorized users with elevated privileges unless combined with other vulnerabilities.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to personal data, violating GDPR and HIPAA requirements for data protection and access controls. Organizations may face compliance penalties if exploited, as it compromises data confidentiality and integrity.

Mitigation Strategies

Update the Shopping Cart & eCommerce Store plugin to the latest version. Remove or disable the plugin if updates are unavailable. Review database logs for unauthorized queries and restrict admin-level access to reduce attack surface.
