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 | Exploitation requires an authenticated WordPress account with editor-level privileges or higher (per description and CVSS PR:H), and the attacker must reach the Welcart order-management admin functionality that processes the wp_usces_order_old request containing the searchSql / searchSkuSql JSON fields. No special non-default plugin configuration is described - any site running Welcart e-Commerce <= 2.12.4 with such an account is affected. The principal limiting factors are the elevated authentication requirement (not reachable by anonymous or low-privilege subscriber accounts) and that impact is read-only data disclosure with no integrity or availability effect; no user interaction by a victim is required. |
| Impact | This is a moderate, authentication-gated issue rather than an urgent priority. The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, base 4.9) confirms network reach and low attack complexity, but PR:H means the attacker must already hold an elevated WordPress role - the description specifies 'editor-level access and above,' so this is not pre-auth. Impact is confidentiality-only (C:H, I:N, A:N): the SQL injection enables reading sensitive database contents but not modification or denial of service. No EPSS score, KEV listing, POC, or SSVC decision data was supplied; absence of these is not evidence of safety but means there is no signal of active or probable exploitation. Note a mild tension worth verifying: CVSS marks PR:H, yet a WordPress 'editor' is a mid-tier role below administrator, so some scorers would rate this PR:L - either way it requires a trusted authenticated account, which substantially limits the realistic attacker population to insiders or compromised editor credentials. There are no conflicting network-vs-local signals; the network vector is consistent with a web-accessible WordPress admin endpoint. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who already holds editor-level (or higher) credentials on the WordPress site - for example a malicious insider or someone using phished/stolen editor login - opens the order list admin feature and submits a crafted value in the wp_usces_order_old JSON searchSql/searchSkuSql field. Because the parameter is insufficiently escaped and not parameterized, the injected SQL appends to the existing query and returns sensitive database rows such as customer order data. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, so exploitation currently requires manual crafting against the documented vulnerable parameter. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 17, 2026
Welcart e-Commerce versions through 2.12.4 allow authenticated users with editor-level privileges or higher to inject SQL through the searchSql and searchSkuSql JSON fields in the wp_usces_order_old request, enabling read-only disclosure of sensitive database contents. The flaw is an authenticated order-management SQL injection (CWE-89) with high confidentiality impact but no integrity or availability impact. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the elevated account requirement keeps overall risk moderate.
RemediationAI
Update Welcart e-Commerce to a release later than 2.12.4; the provided data references upstream changeset 3743211 (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3743211/usc-e-shop) but does not explicitly state the first patched release version, so confirm the fixed version with the vendor or the Wordfence advisory before deployment. If immediate updating is not possible, restrict and audit WordPress accounts with editor-level or higher privileges, remove unnecessary editor accounts, and limit access to Welcart order-management/admin screens; these controls reduce exposure but do not fix the underlying SQL injection and may disrupt legitimate order administration. As a temporary detection or prevention measure, deploy WAF rules or request filtering for wp_usces_order_old requests containing suspicious searchSql or searchSkuSql JSON content, accepting possible false positives for legitimate order searches, and do not rely on this as a substitute for patching.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The Welcart e-Commerce WordPress plugin processes order data in classes/orderList.class.php and exposes order-management functionality that handles the wp_usces_order_old request. User-supplied JSON values from the searchSql and searchSkuSql fields are incorporated into existing SQL queries without sufficient escaping or prepared statements, which is the classic CWE-89 SQL injection pattern; the referenced Trac lines 256, 473, 613, 622, and 776 point to affected order-list code paths, and changeset 3743211 is the upstream fix reference. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N confirms network reachability but requires high privileges, with confidentiality-only impact and no victim interaction. Exploitation is not anonymous and is limited to authenticated editor-level or higher accounts that can reach the Welcart order-management admin functionality.

DescriptionCVE.org
The Welcart e-Commerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'wp_usces_order_old (JSON fields searchSql / searchSkuSql)' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.12.4 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 editor-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
