CVE-2024-3211: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in levelfourstorefront Shopping Cart & eCommerce Store
The Shopping Cart & eCommerce Store plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'productid' attribute of the ec_addtocart shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 5.6.3 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 contributor-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Shopping Cart & eCommerce Store plugin for WordPress suffers from an SQL Injection vulnerability (CWE-89) due to insufficient sanitization of the 'productid' parameter in the ec_addtocart shortcode. Authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges can append arbitrary SQL commands to existing queries, enabling extraction of sensitive data from the backend database. This vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to 5.6.3 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8, indicating high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows authenticated users with contributor-level access or above to execute arbitrary SQL commands within the database context. This can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, modification or deletion of data, and disruption of application availability. The vulnerability compromises the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system's data.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict contributor-level and higher access to trusted users only. Monitor for plugin updates from levelfourstorefront and apply any official patches promptly once available.
