CVE-2026-12951: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in wcmp MultiVendorX – WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace AI Powered Solutions
The Dc Woocommerce Multi Vendor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'order_by' parameter of the /multivendorx/v1/compliance/report-abuse REST endpoint in versions up to and including 5.0.18. This is due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query — the value is concatenated directly into an ORDER BY clause where esc_sql() (which only neutralizes characters needed to break out of quoted string literals) provides no protection. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with vendor-level access and above (users granted the 'edit_stores' capability), 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 Dc Woocommerce Multi Vendor plugin for WordPress (MultiVendorX – WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace AI Powered Solutions) suffers from an SQL Injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in the 'order_by' parameter of the /multivendorx/v1/compliance/report-abuse REST endpoint. The plugin versions up to and including 5.0.18 do not properly sanitize this parameter, concatenating it directly into an ORDER BY clause. The esc_sql() function used only escapes characters relevant to quoted string literals and does not protect against injection in this context. Authenticated attackers with 'edit_stores' capability can exploit this to append additional SQL queries, potentially extracting sensitive information from the database.
Potential Impact
An authenticated attacker with vendor-level privileges or higher can exploit this vulnerability to perform SQL Injection attacks, allowing unauthorized reading of sensitive database information. The vulnerability does not affect integrity or availability directly but compromises confidentiality.
Mitigation Recommendations
No patch or official fix is currently documented. Users should check the vendor advisory for updates. Until a fix is available, restrict vendor-level user privileges carefully and monitor for suspicious activity. Avoid exposing the vulnerable REST endpoint to untrusted users. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
