Exploitation Conditions

Requires the WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency with WPML plugin (version ≤5.5.7) installed and active with multicurrency configured, plus an authenticated account. The save_currency() AJAX handler performs no capability check, so the malicious exchange-rate value can be stored; however, per the description the data-extraction step via the ORDER BY clause requires Shop Manager-level access or above (CVSS PR:H). Limiting factors: exploitation depends on an authenticated elevated (Shop Manager+) store role, the plugin being present with multicurrency in use, and a vulnerable version; it is confidentiality-only and does not modify or disrupt data (I:N/A:N). The internal subscriber-vs-Shop-Manager discrepancy in the source should be confirmed with the vendor before relaxing the privilege assumption.

Impact

This is a medium-severity (CVSS 4.9) SQL injection whose real-world priority is tempered primarily by the privilege requirement. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) scores network reach and low complexity but PR:H, meaning the confidentiality-impacting exploitation requires an already-elevated Shop Manager-or-above account. There is an explicit internal conflict in the source data: the description states the save_currency() AJAX handler 'lacks capability checks and allows subscriber-level users to store malicious SQL payloads' (which would imply low privilege for the storage step), yet also states that extracting data requires 'Shop Manager-level access and above,' and the CVSS encodes PR:H - verify with Wordfence whether the practical attack is low-privilege stored injection or high-privilege direct extraction. No EPSS score, no KEV listing, and no confirmed public exploit were provided, and the vuln.today decision label is 'this_month' rather than act_now/emergency - together these signals point to a real but non-urgent, privilege-gated data-disclosure issue rather than a mass-exploitation priority. Impact is confidentiality-only (I:N/A:N), consistent with read-oriented data extraction via ORDER BY.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker holding a Shop Manager-level (or higher) account on a WooCommerce store running WPML Multicurrency reaches the unprotected save_currency() AJAX handler and submits a crafted currency exchange rate value containing SQL. The stored value is later concatenated into an ORDER BY clause without sanitization, letting the attacker append queries to read sensitive database contents such as user or order data. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis, and the attack is limited to actors who already possess elevated store privileges.

AnalysisAIv1 – Nov 03, 2026

SQL injection in WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency with WPML up to and including 5.5.7 lets an authenticated attacker with Shop Manager-level access or above store a crafted currency exchange-rate value that is later concatenated into an ORDER BY clause, allowing additional SQL queries to read sensitive database contents. The weakness is confidentiality-only and requires the plugin to be active with multicurrency configured; no public exploit or CISA KEV entry was identified at time of analysis. CVSS 4.9 reflects the high privilege prerequisite rather than low real-world exposure.

RemediationAI

Apply the upstream fix referenced by changeset 3705990 and confirm the first patched release with the vendor or Wordfence advisory; the provided data does not state an exact fixed version, so do not assume 5.5.7 is patched. If an immediate update is not possible, remove or deactivate the plugin, or disable its multicurrency feature, because exploitation requires multicurrency to be configured, though both options remove storefront currency functionality. Also restrict Shop Manager and higher roles to trusted users, since the assessed attack path requires that privilege level; no vendor-published workaround is included in the provided references.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The issue is CWE-89 SQL injection in the WordPress plugin's multicurrency configuration code. The save_currency() AJAX handler in inc/currencies/class-wcml-multi-currency-configuration.php, referenced around lines 136 and 182, insufficiently validates the exchange-rate parameter and performs no capability check, so a crafted value can be stored. Later, PriceOrderByPostMeta.php line 74 concatenates that stored value directly into an ORDER BY clause without sanitization, enabling SQL injection when the ordering path is used. The CPE identifies amirhelzer:wpml_multilingual_&_multicurrency_for_woocommerce. The source description notes subscriber-level storage but also states that extraction requires Shop Manager or above; the assessed vector uses PR:H, and this privilege discrepancy should be confirmed with the vendor.

DescriptionNVD

The WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency with WPML plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection in all versions up to, and including, 5.5.7. This is due to insufficient input validation on the currency exchange rate parameter in the save_currency() AJAX handler, which lacks capability checks and allows subscriber-level users to store malicious SQL payloads that are later concatenated directly into ORDER BY clauses without proper sanitization. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Shop Manager-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries to extract sensitive information from the database.
