MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Persistence The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | The target must be a WordPress site running WooCommerce with the Cozy Vision 'SMS Alert Order Notifications' plugin at version 3.7.8 or earlier and the vulnerable endpoint reachable over the network. The provided CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) implies no authentication and no user interaction against a default install, which would mean no special configuration is required beyond having the plugin active; however, the description does not name the specific injectable parameter or feature, and Patchstack-class WooCommerce SQLi often requires a logged-in role - so the unauthenticated, no-prerequisite reading should be confirmed against the vendor advisory. Limiting factors: exploitation is impossible without this exact plugin installed and active, impact is confined to data disclosure (C:H, I:N, A:N) so it does not by itself grant code execution or site modification, and the actual privilege level required is unconfirmed from the available data. |
| Impact | Signals are moderate and partly mixed. The CVSS base score of 7.5 (High) is driven entirely by confidentiality (C:H, I:N, A:N), reflecting data disclosure rather than code execution or data tampering. The provided vector states PR:N (unauthenticated) and AC:L, which would make this attractive for opportunistic scanning; however, Patchstack-reported WooCommerce plugin SQLi frequently turns out to require at least some authenticated role, and the description does not specify the entry point - so the unauthenticated classification should be verified against the Patchstack advisory before treating it as fully internet-exposable. Counterbalancing the High CVSS, EPSS is only 0.11% (30th percentile), there is no KEV listing and no public PoC identified, indicating no evidence of active or imminent mass exploitation. There is no SSVC decision data in the input. Net assessment: a credible, patch-worthy data-exposure issue, but currently a prioritize-by-exposure item rather than an emergency - escalate if the site is internet-facing and the unauthenticated vector is confirmed. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker sends a crafted request containing malicious SQL to the vulnerable plugin endpoint on a WooCommerce store; because input is concatenated into a query without sanitization, the database executes the injected clause and returns sensitive rows. Using UNION-based or blind techniques the attacker iteratively dumps WordPress user password hashes and WooCommerce customer PII/order data. No public PoC was identified, but the low attack complexity (AC:L) means a working exploit would be straightforward to develop for anyone who locates the injectable parameter. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv3 – Jun 26, 2026
SQL injection in the Cozy Vision 'SMS Alert Order Notifications - WooCommerce' WordPress plugin (all versions up to and including 3.7.8) lets remote attackers inject crafted SQL into backend database queries, enabling extraction of arbitrary data such as customer records, order details, and WordPress credential hashes. The CVSS:3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation with high confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability impact, consistent with a read-oriented (e.g. UNION/blind) injection. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis and EPSS is low (0.11%, 30th percentile), but the flaw was reported by Patchstack, a credible WordPress vulnerability research source.

SQL injection in the Cozy Vision 'SMS Alert Order Notifications - WooCommerce' WordPress plugin (all versions through 3.7.8) lets remote attackers inject crafted SQL via an unsanitized input parameter, enabling extraction of sensitive data such as customer order details, WordPress user records, and password hashes from the site database. Reported by Patchstack with a CVSS of 7.5 (confidentiality-only impact), it carries a low EPSS of 0.11% (30th percentile), is not listed in CISA KEV, and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in Cozy Vision SMS Alert Order Notifications - WooCommerce allows SQL Injection.7.8. Rated critical severity (CVSS 9.3), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity. No vendor patch available.
RemediationAI
No fixed version is named in the available data, so apply the most specific control that holds: upgrade to the latest plugin release above 3.7.8 once Cozy Vision publishes a patched build, confirming the fixed version against the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/sms-alert/vulnerability/wordpress-sms-alert-order-notifications-woocommerce-plugin-3-7-8-sql-injection-vulnerability?_s_id=cve) before deploying - do not assume a version number. If no patch is yet available, deactivate and remove the 'SMS Alert Order Notifications' plugin (trade-off: order SMS notifications stop), or place a WAF/virtual patch in front of the site to block SQL-injection patterns on the plugin's request parameters and endpoints (trade-off: pattern-based rules can be bypassed and may cause false positives on legitimate order data). As defense-in-depth with real impact, restrict the database account used by WordPress to the minimum required privileges and ensure it cannot read tables outside the site schema, and rotate WordPress/WooCommerce credentials and API keys if you suspect the database was already queried.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is a WooCommerce add-on (CPE cpe:2.3:a:cozyvision:sms_alert_order_notifications) that sends SMS notifications for store orders, running atop WordPress/WooCommerce and MySQL/MariaDB. The root cause is CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command): user-controllable input is concatenated into a SQL statement without parameterized queries or proper sanitization/escaping (e.g. failure to use WordPress's $wpdb->prepare()). In WordPress plugins this class of bug commonly arises from order-lookup, reporting, or AJAX/REST handlers that pass request parameters straight into a query. Because WordPress stores all site data - including users, password hashes, and WooCommerce customer/order PII - in a shared database, a single injectable query can expose the entire schema.

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in Cozy Vision SMS Alert Order Notifications - WooCommerce allows SQL Injection. This issue affects SMS Alert Order Notifications - WooCommerce: from n/a through 3.7.8.
Executive ViewAI
The Cozy Vision SMS Alert Order Notifications plugin for WooCommerce (all versions through 3.7.8) contains a database security flaw that allows unauthenticated attackers to access sensitive customer records, transaction history, and administrative credentials. This impacts all WooCommerce merchants using the plugin and creates immediate risk of customer data theft, regulatory violations, and system compromise. No vendor patch is currently available, requiring interim mitigation until remediation is possible.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Disable and remove the plugin if operationally feasible; (2) Deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block SQL injection payloads targeting WooCommerce query parameters; (3) Restrict HTTP access to affected plugin administrative endpoints via firewall or IP allowlist; (4) Enable database query logging and alerting for suspicious SELECT statements; (5) Implement least-privilege database access controls for the plugin service account; (6) Apply WordPress hardening: disable file editing, restrict wp-admin access, enforce strong administrative credentials.
