CVE-2026-15351: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in wcvendors WC Vendors – WooCommerce Multivendor, WooCommerce Marketplace, Product Vendors
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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The WC Vendors plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to an SQL Injection (CWE-89) through the 'status' parameter in versions up to and including 2.7.0. This occurs because user-supplied input is not properly escaped or prepared before being incorporated into SQL queries. The sanitize_text_field callback only removes HTML tags but leaves SQL metacharacters intact, and the typical WordPress magic quotes protection is bypassed because WP_REST_Server::serve_request() calls wp_unslash() on GET parameters before sanitization. As a result, authenticated attackers with shop manager or higher privileges can inject additional SQL commands to extract sensitive data from the database.
Potential Impact
An attacker with shop manager-level or higher privileges can exploit this vulnerability to perform SQL Injection attacks, allowing them to extract sensitive information from the database. The vulnerability does not affect confidentiality, integrity, or availability beyond data disclosure. There is no indication of remote unauthenticated exploitation or denial of service.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a patch is available, restrict shop manager-level access to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to the 'status' parameter in plugin requests.
