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 that the target WordPress site runs WooCommerce with the bpost Shipping Platform plugin (version < 3.2.3) installed and active, and that the attacker reaches the WooCommerce order-submission/checkout flow where the unsanitized parameter is processed - this is the exact trigger named in the description. No authentication, privileges, or user interaction are needed (PR:N/UI:N), so any anonymous visitor can attempt it against a default-configured vulnerable store. The primary limiting factor is deployment: only stores that have specifically installed the bpost carrier integration are exploitable, which sharply narrows the population of targets relative to generic WooCommerce sites. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.5 (High) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N - network reachable, low complexity, no privileges, no user interaction, and high confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability impact, consistent with data-exfiltration-focused blind SQLi. Publicly available exploit code (WPScan) raises practical risk above raw score, and unauthenticated exploitability against a standard checkout path means it is automatable with commodity tooling such as sqlmap. Countervailing factors: this is not listed in CISA KEV (no confirmed active exploitation), and the affected plugin is a niche, region-specific WooCommerce add-on, so real-world attack surface is far smaller than a ubiquitous plugin - likely opportunistic scanning rather than mass targeting. No EPSS score was provided in the input, so probabilistic exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified here. Net: a genuine, actionable priority for the specific stores that run this plugin, but lower fleet-wide urgency than the 7.5 alone might suggest given limited deployment footprint. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker browses to a WooCommerce store running the bpost plugin, submits an order (or replays the order-submission request) with a crafted value in the vulnerable parameter, and uses time-based payloads to make the database pause on true/false conditions. By automating this with sqlmap against the public checkout endpoint - no login required - they iteratively extract customer PII, order data, and WordPress admin password hashes; publicly available exploit code from WPScan lowers the skill barrier. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 21, 2026
SQL injection in the bpost Shipping Platform WordPress plugin (versions before 3.2.3) lets unauthenticated attackers inject SQL via an unsanitized parameter processed during WooCommerce order submission, enabling time-based blind extraction of database contents. Any WooCommerce store using this Belgian-postal shipping integration is exposed at checkout without authentication or user interaction. Publicly available exploit code exists (WPScan) and a vendor patch is available, though there is no public exploit identified as being actively used in the wild (not in CISA KEV).
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade the bpost Shipping Platform plugin to version 3.2.3 or later, which is the definitive fix (patch available from vendor per WPScan). Until the upgrade can be applied, compensating controls include placing a Web Application Firewall rule in front of the WooCommerce checkout/order-submission endpoint to detect and block SQL metacharacters and time-based injection patterns (trade-off: WAF signatures for blind SQLi can be bypassed and may cause false positives on legitimate order data), and, if bpost shipping is not actively needed, deactivating the plugin entirely to remove the vulnerable code path (trade-off: bpost shipping options disappear from checkout). Restricting or monitoring the checkout parameter for anomalous input and enabling detailed query logging can aid detection while patching is scheduled. Confirm the fix and review guidance via the WPScan advisory (https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/21b31199-01d5-4c43-8699-eca4bc7e8389/).

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is a WooCommerce shipping-integration plugin (cpe:2.3:a:unknown:bpost-shipping-platform) that connects WordPress/WooCommerce checkout to Belgium's bpost carrier service. The root cause is CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command): a user-controlled parameter submitted as part of the order/checkout flow is concatenated into a SQL query without parameterization or sanitization. Because the injection is exercised on the WooCommerce order-submission path - a public, unauthenticated endpoint - the plugin's database queries can be manipulated by any store visitor. The vulnerability manifests as time-based blind SQLi, meaning results are inferred from server response delays rather than returned directly, which is the classic signature of an injectable parameter with suppressed error/output.

Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
The bpost-shipping-platform WordPress plugin before 3.2.3 does not properly sanitize a parameter before using it in a SQL query during WooCommerce order submission, allowing unauthenticated attackers to perform time-based blind SQL injection on stores running this bpost-shipping-platform WordPress plugin before 3.2.3.
Executive ViewAI
The bpost Shipping Platform WordPress plugin (versions before 3.2.3) contains a critical SQL injection vulnerability in WooCommerce checkout that enables unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive database contents. Publicly available exploit code exists, creating immediate risk for organizations operating affected storefronts with this Belgian shipping integration. Customer order data, payment information, and other database records are exposed at the transaction point without requiring authentication or user interaction.
Apply vendor patch.
