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 with at least Subscriber-level privileges (CVSS PR:L) and that the vulnerable Hyyan WooCommerce Polylang Integration plugin (version ≤1.5.0) be installed and active, since the attack targets its specific 'woocommerce_remove_variations' AJAX handler via the 'variation_ids' parameter. No user interaction is needed (UI:N) and the request is network-reachable (AV:N). The practical limiting factor is the Subscriber credential requirement; however, on stores permitting customer/self-registration (typical for WooCommerce) this barrier is minimal, materially increasing real-world exposure. Impact is limited to read/exfiltration of database contents (C:H, I:N, A:N) - the flaw does not by itself grant data modification or site takeover. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but moderate-priority issue rather than a top-tier emergency. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, score 6.5) shows a network-reachable, low-complexity SQL injection requiring only low privileges and no user interaction, with high confidentiality impact but no integrity or availability impact - consistent with the description's claim of data extraction by authenticated Subscriber-level users. The key limiting signal is PR:L: exploitation requires an authenticated account, so this is most dangerous on sites allowing open/self-registration (common for WooCommerce stores), where Subscriber accounts are trivially obtained, effectively lowering the bar toward unauthenticated. No EPSS score was provided, the CVE is NOT on the CISA KEV list, and no public POC is indicated in the supplied data, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. The references point to specific vulnerable source lines (Variation.php and Variable.php) in the WordPress plugin repository, confirming the code-level root cause via Wordfence. Net: a real, confirmed confidentiality risk that warrants patching, but the authentication requirement and absence of exploitation/EPSS signals keep it below critical urgency. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker registers or obtains a Subscriber-level account on a WooCommerce store running the vulnerable plugin, then issues the 'woocommerce_remove_variations' AJAX request with a crafted 'variation_ids' value that appends a UNION/sub-query to the unprepared SQL statement. The injected query extracts sensitive database contents such as password hashes, secret keys, or customer data. No public proof-of-concept is indicated in the available data, but the injection point is low-complexity and the vulnerable source lines are publicly identified. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 14, 2026
SQL injection in WooCommerce Polylang Integration plugin versions up to and including 1.5.0 allows authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access to extract sensitive information from the WordPress database via the 'variation_ids' parameter of the 'woocommerce_remove_variations' AJAX action. The flaw requires the plugin to be active and a low-privileged account, which is easily obtained on WooCommerce sites allowing customer registration. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the impact is limited to data confidentiality.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis. As an immediate mitigation, disable or uninstall the Hyyan WooCommerce Polylang Integration plugin; this will break the integration between WooCommerce and Polylang but eliminates the vulnerability. If the plugin must remain active, restrict the 'woocommerce_remove_variations' AJAX action to trusted roles (e.g., administrators) by implementing a custom capability check, though this may interfere with legitimate variation management workflows. Additionally, review user registration settings: if the site allows public registration (common in WooCommerce), consider disabling it or requiring email confirmation to reduce the number of Subscriber-level accounts that can exploit the flaw. Monitor database queries for anomalous UNION or stacked query patterns. Keep informed via the Wordfence advisory at https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/ccf17caa-3f05-4461-b258-ae655d95ec2e?source=cve as patch information may become available.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability is a classic SQL injection (CWE-89) caused by insufficient escaping of user-supplied input and lack of prepared statements in the plugin's AJAX handler. The Hyyan WooCommerce Polylang Integration plugin (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:hyyan:hyyan_woocommerce_polylang_integration:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:) provides integration between WooCommerce product variations and Polylang translations. The 'woocommerce_remove_variations' action processes the 'variation_ids' parameter without proper sanitization, allowing an authenticated user to append SQL queries to existing statements. The vulnerable code resides in src/Hyyan/WPI/Product/Variation.php (lines 146, 168) and src/Hyyan/WPI/Product/Variable.php (lines 280, 35) per the Trac references. This enables extraction of arbitrary data from the WordPress database.

DescriptionCVE.org
The Hyyan WooCommerce Polylang Integration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'variation_ids' parameter of the 'woocommerce_remove_variations' AJAX action in versions up to, and including, 1.5.0 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
