AnalysisAI
Blind SQL injection in the Cargo RD 'Cargo Shipping Location for WooCommerce' WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 5.6) allows remote unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary SQL via unsanitized input passed to backend database queries. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.3 (Critical) due to its network-reachable, no-privilege, no-interaction profile and scope-changed confidentiality impact, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is a CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command, manifesting as a blind SQLi where the attacker cannot directly observe query results but can infer data through boolean/time-based side channels. The affected component is a WooCommerce-integrated WordPress plugin developed by Cargo RD that manages shipping location data, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:cargo_rd:cargo_shipping_location_for_woocommerce. Plugins of this class typically register AJAX or REST endpoints that concatenate user-controlled parameters into MySQL/MariaDB queries against the WordPress wp_ database, exposing core tables such as wp_users (password hashes), wp_options (site secrets), and WooCommerce order tables when sanitization via wpdb->prepare() or esc_sql() is missing.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/cargo-shipping-location-for-woocommerce/vulnerability/wordpress-cargo-shipping-location-for-woocommerce-plugin-5-6-sql-injection-vulnerability) lists the issue against versions up to 5.6 without naming a fixed release, so administrators should monitor the plugin page for an update beyond 5.6 and apply it as soon as released. Until a fix is available, deactivate and remove the Cargo Shipping Location for WooCommerce plugin (trade-off: shipping location calculation features will be lost and checkout flows that depend on them may need a fallback) or place the WordPress site behind a WAF such as Patchstack, Wordfence, or Cloudflare with SQLi rulesets enabled and virtual patching for this CVE turned on (trade-off: WAF bypasses are common for blind SQLi using encoded payloads). As a hardening layer, restrict the WordPress database user's privileges to the minimum required (no FILE, no cross-database SELECT) to limit the blast radius if the endpoint is exploited.
