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 | Requires an authenticated WordPress account at Contributor level or higher on a site running the WP EasyCart plugin version 5.9.4 or earlier (PR:L). Exploitation is remote over the network with no user interaction, but is limited by the need for valid low-privilege credentials - realistically dangerous on sites that permit open user registration or grant contributor access broadly. No non-default plugin configuration is indicated by the available data; the injectable functionality appears reachable to authenticated contributor-tier users. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:L, base 8.5) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity SQL injection that requires only low-privilege authentication (PR:L). The 'Contributor' qualifier in the title aligns with PR:L: a self-registered or low-tier WordPress account suffices, which meaningfully lowers the bar on sites allowing open/contributor registration but still requires a valid account, unlike a fully unauthenticated flaw. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or public POC is present in the supplied data, so this is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis' - the 8.5 rests on impact and ease, not on evidence of exploitation. Impact is confidentiality-weighted (C:H) with I:N and only A:L, consistent with data extraction (dumping users, order data, secrets) rather than modification or full DoS. The S:C (scope change) is a Patchstack convention for injection that reaches the shared database engine beyond the plugin's own authorization context; it inflates the base score and should be treated cautiously. Overall this is a genuine, actionable authenticated SQLi in an e-commerce plugin - a real priority where low-privilege registration is enabled - but the absence of EPSS/KEV/POC signals means it is not confirmed to be under active or widespread exploitation. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker registers or obtains a low-privilege Contributor account on a WordPress site running WP EasyCart <= 5.9.4, then sends a crafted request to the vulnerable plugin endpoint with SQL metacharacters in an injectable parameter. The injection is executed against the WordPress database, letting the attacker extract sensitive data such as user credentials, password hashes, and customer/order records. No public POC is referenced in the supplied intelligence. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 23, 2026
SQL injection in the WP EasyCart plugin for WordPress (versions up to and including 5.9.4) allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access or higher to execute arbitrary SQL queries, potentially leading to the disclosure of sensitive data from the WordPress database. Exploitation is remote, requires low-privilege authentication (PR:L), and no user interaction; the confidentiality impact is high, with low integrity and availability impacts. No public exploit code has been identified at the time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not known to be actively exploited.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch has been identified at the time of analysis. Until a fixed version is available, consider temporarily disabling the WP EasyCart plugin. If the plugin must remain active, restrict Contributor-level accounts to trusted users only and disable open user registration if not required. This is especially critical on sites that permit open user registration or grant contributor access broadly. Monitor database and web server logs for unusual SQL queries originating from authenticated users. A web application firewall (WAF) with SQL injection rules may provide partial mitigation but is not a substitute for patching. Consult the Patchstack advisory for updates and potential workarounds.

Technical ContextAI · show details
WP EasyCart is a WordPress plugin developed by Level Four Development (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:levelfourdevelopment:wp_easycart:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). The vulnerability is a SQL injection (CWE-89) caused by improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands, likely in a function accessible to users with the Contributor role. Contributors can create and edit their own posts but cannot publish them; the plugin may expose AJAX actions or shortcodes that do not properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in database queries. The assessed CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:L) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity attack requiring low-privilege authentication, with high confidentiality impact and low integrity and availability impacts. The injection point is reachable without non-default plugin configuration.

DescriptionCVE.org
Contributor SQL Injection in WP EasyCart <= 5.9.4 versions.
Executive ViewAI
WP EasyCart plugin for WordPress (versions up to 5.9.4) contains a high-severity SQL injection vulnerability that could allow authenticated users with Contributor-level access or higher to extract sensitive data from the WordPress database. With no vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, the immediate risk is limited to environments where low-privilege accounts are compromised or malicious insiders exist, but the potential for data disclosure warrants proactive mitigation. Leadership should prioritize access controls and monitoring to safeguard organizational data until a patch is available.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include restricting Contributor-level and higher accounts, considering temporary plugin deactivation on non-essential sites, implementing WAF virtual patching to detect and block SQL injection attempts, and enabling database activity monitoring to detect anomalous queries.
