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 the WooCommerce Lottery plugin (WPGenie) version 2.2.9 or earlier installed and active on a WordPress site, which in turn requires the WooCommerce platform to be present. No authentication is required (PR:N) and no user interaction (UI:N), so any remote actor who can reach the vulnerable lottery endpoint can attempt it. LIMITING FACTORS: the attack surface is confined to sites that deploy this specific niche paid add-on; the vendor-assigned AC:H indicates the attack is not trivially repeatable and may depend on specific conditions, timing, or data states at the injection point, which the advisory does not fully enumerate. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-priority issue rather than a top-tier emergency. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:L, base 7.5) describes a network-reachable, unauthenticated flaw, which normally raises urgency, but the vendor-assigned AC:H (high attack complexity) tempers it by implying exploitation is not trivially repeatable - unusual for a classic SQL injection, which is typically AC:L. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, or public POC was provided, so there is no evidence of active or imminent mass exploitation at this time. The S:C (scope changed) and C:H with I:N/A:L profile suggests the vendor assessed this as primarily a confidentiality/data-disclosure issue reaching beyond the plugin's own data, rather than full database takeover. CONFLICTING SIGNAL: a CWE-89 unauthenticated SQL injection would normally warrant AC:L and higher integrity impact, yet the input rates AC:H with I:N - verify the exact injection point and whether it is blind/read-only with the Patchstack advisory. Overall: a credible, patch-worthy vulnerability in a niche e-commerce add-on, but absent EPSS/KEV/POC data it reads as high-CVSS with currently unproven real-world exploitation. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker locates a WordPress store running WooCommerce Lottery 2.2.9 or earlier and sends a crafted HTTP request to the vulnerable lottery endpoint containing a malicious SQL payload. Because input is not sanitized before reaching a database query (CWE-89), the attacker extracts sensitive data such as customer records, order details, or WordPress credential hashes. No public exploit code was identified in the provided data, and the vendor's AC:H rating implies some non-trivial preconditions must be met. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 06, 2026
Unauthenticated SQL injection in WooCommerce Lottery (WPGenie) versions up to and including 2.2.9 lets a remote attacker who can reach the plugin's lottery endpoint inject SQL against the underlying WordPress database, reading arbitrary data from it. No credentials or user interaction are required (PR:N, UI:N), and the vendor-assigned vector notes high confidentiality impact with limited availability effect, though its AC:H rating alongside our assessed AC:L indicates the reliability of the injection depends on conditions at the injection point that the advisory does not fully enumerate. Exploitation is narrow in practice because only WordPress sites running both WooCommerce and this specific niche paid add-on are exposed; no public exploit code and no confirmed active exploitation (no CISA KEV listing) were identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version is identified in the available data, so the immediate action is to check the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/wc-lottery/vulnerability/wordpress-woocommerce-lottery-plugin-2-2-9-sql-injection-vulnerability?_s_id=cve) for the current fixed release and upgrade as soon as one is published; until then, deactivate the WooCommerce Lottery plugin if lottery functionality is not business-critical, accepting the loss of that feature. Where the plugin must stay live, restrict the lottery endpoints to trusted networks or authenticated roles at the reverse proxy or application level (side effect: anonymous/public lottery purchase flows will break), and deploy WAF or ModSecurity SQL-injection rules covering the plugin's request paths (side effect: rule bypasses are possible and legitimate query strings may be flagged, so test in detection mode first). Additional compensating controls include running the WordPress database user with least privilege and avoiding FILE/UNION-style capabilities, monitoring database and web logs for anomalous UNION/SLEEP patterns from unauthenticated requests, and, on shared hosting, isolating or moving the site behind a filtering proxy. Note that no public exploit code and no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation were identified, so these measures are precautionary rather than incident-driven.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is CWE-89, improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command, inside a WordPress plugin that layers a lottery/ticket-sales feature on top of WooCommerce (WPGenie's WooCommerce Lottery, tracked as cpe:2.3:a:wpgenie:woocommerce_lottery). Because the vulnerable code parses attacker-supplied input into a database query without proper parameterization or prepared statements, database contents such as user records, password hashes, WooCommerce order and customer data, and any secrets stored in wp_options become readable. The affected component is a plugin endpoint rather than WordPress core, so exposure depends on the plugin being installed and active; the plugin also requires WooCommerce to function, which limits the population of vulnerable installations and explains the low-density, niche attack surface. The vendor vector (S:C, C:H, I:N, A:L) suggests cross-boundary data exposure with no integrity or full-availability loss, while our independent assessment scores it CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, i.e., a purely remote, unauthenticated confidentiality breach with no proven integrity or availability impact.

DescriptionCVE.org
Unauthenticated SQL Injection in WooCommerce Lottery <= 2.2.9 versions.
Executive ViewAI
The WooCommerce Lottery (WPGenie) plugin, used by WordPress sites that also run WooCommerce, contains an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability (CVE-2026-32580) in versions up to and including 2.2.9, allowing attackers to read arbitrary data from the underlying WordPress database. Exploitation is narrow because only sites with both WooCommerce and this specific paid add-on are exposed; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and no vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Leadership should prioritize identifying affected sites and implementing interim mitigations to protect customer and business data.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: disable or remove the WooCommerce Lottery (WPGenie) plugin if not essential; deploy WAF rules to block SQL injection attempts against the lottery endpoint; restrict endpoint access via IP allowlisting; review database logs for anomalous queries; ensure the WordPress database user has least privileges.
