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 at the Contributor role or higher on a site running WP EasyCart version 5.9.0 or earlier (per CVSS PR:L). The attack is remote over the network (AV:N), low-complexity (AC:L), and needs no user interaction (UI:N), but the Contributor authentication prerequisite is the primary limiting factor - sites that disable open registration, or that never grant Contributor+ roles to untrusted users, are not exposed to anonymous attackers. No non-default plugin feature or special deployment mode is documented as required beyond having the vulnerable plugin installed and active. |
| Impact | The CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:L indicates network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation requiring low privileges (an authenticated Contributor account) and no user interaction, with a scope change and high confidentiality impact but no integrity impact and only low availability impact - consistent with a data-read SQLi rather than full RCE. No EPSS score, POC, or KEV entry was supplied, so real-world exploitation probability cannot be quantified from the provided data; the absence of KEV and POC suggests this is not currently mass-exploited. The key limiting factor is the PR:L requirement: an attacker must first obtain a Contributor (or higher) account, which meaningfully reduces exposure on sites that do not permit open/low-trust registration. Priority is moderate-to-high for multi-author WordPress stores where untrusted contributor accounts exist, and lower where authorship is tightly controlled. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker registers or compromises a Contributor-level account on a WordPress site running WP EasyCart 5.9.0 or earlier, then submits crafted input to a vulnerable plugin parameter that is concatenated into a SQL query. Because the vector is network-based with low complexity and no user interaction, the attacker exfiltrates customer PII, order details, or password hashes from the shared WordPress database in a single authenticated session. No public POC was provided, so exploitation would require independent development of the injection payload. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 02, 2026
SQL injection in the WP EasyCart WordPress e-commerce plugin (all versions up to and including 5.9.0) lets a low-privileged authenticated user with Contributor role inject arbitrary SQL into backend queries. Reported by Patchstack and rated CVSS 8.5, the flaw allows attackers to read sensitive database contents such as customer records, order data, and WordPress user credential hashes. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
Upgrade WP EasyCart to a release later than 5.9.0 once confirmed via the vendor/Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/wp-easycart/vulnerability/wordpress-wp-easycart-plugin-5-9-0-sql-injection-vulnerability); no vendor-released patch version was identified in the provided data, so verify the fixed version on that advisory before deploying. Until a patched version is applied, reduce exposure by restricting who holds Contributor-or-higher roles and auditing existing low-privilege accounts, since exploitation requires an authenticated Contributor - disable open user registration or lower the default new-user role to Subscriber (trade-off: legitimate contributors lose self-service access). As a compensating control, deploy a WordPress WAF/virtual patch (e.g. Patchstack) with SQLi rules targeting the plugin's endpoints, and apply least-privilege database credentials for WordPress where feasible (trade-off: some plugins expect broad DB rights and may break). Monitor database and web logs for anomalous queries against wp_users/order tables.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is WP EasyCart (vendor levelfourdevelopment, CPE cpe:2.3:a:levelfourdevelopment:wp_easycart), a shopping-cart/e-commerce plugin for WordPress that stores products, customers, and orders in the WordPress MySQL/MariaDB database. The root cause is CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command): user-controlled input reachable by a Contributor is concatenated into a SQL statement without proper parameterization or escaping, so crafted input alters query structure. Because WordPress plugins share the site's single database connection and credentials, a successful injection is not confined to the plugin's own tables and can reach core WordPress tables (e.g. wp_users, wp_usermeta).

DescriptionCVE.org
Contributor SQL Injection in WP EasyCart <= 5.9.0 versions.
Executive ViewAI
WP EasyCart WordPress e-commerce plugin (versions through 5.9.0) contains a SQL injection vulnerability allowing Contributor-level users to access customer orders, payment records, and credential hashes stored in the site database. Organizations using this plugin face material risk of customer data breach; the absence of available patches necessitates immediate protective action to reduce attack surface.
Immediately audit and revoke Contributor role assignments; deploy WAF rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts in EasyCart components; enable database query logging with real-time alerting for suspicious activity; apply principle of least privilege to database credentials used by the plugin; isolate the database from unnecessary network access; disable the plugin on non-critical systems pending patch availability.
