CVE-2026-11973: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in wp-lab WP-Lister Lite for eBay
The WP-Lister Lite for eBay plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'orderby' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.8.8 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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The WP-Lister Lite for eBay plugin for WordPress is affected by a SQL Injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in the 'orderby' parameter. This occurs because the plugin does not properly escape or prepare the user-supplied 'orderby' parameter before including it in SQL queries. Authenticated attackers with administrator or higher privileges can exploit this flaw to append arbitrary SQL commands to existing queries, potentially extracting sensitive data from the database. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 3.8.8. No known exploits in the wild have been reported, and no official remediation or patch has been documented as of the publication date.
Potential Impact
An attacker with administrator-level access can exploit this vulnerability to perform SQL Injection via the 'orderby' parameter, enabling unauthorized extraction of sensitive information from the database. The vulnerability does not affect confidentiality, integrity, or availability beyond data disclosure. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.9 (medium severity), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, high confidentiality impact, and no integrity or availability impact.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict administrator-level access to trusted users only and monitor for unusual database activity related to the 'orderby' parameter. Avoid using vulnerable versions in production environments if possible.
