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 | Valid WordPress user account required. WP EasyCart plugin installed and active on vulnerable version (<=5.8.13). Vulnerable parameter accessible through authenticated admin or user interface accepting unsanitized input. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 score of 8.5 reflects high theoretical risk due to network accessibility (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), low privilege requirement (PR:L), and high confidentiality impact (C:H) with scope change (S:C). However, the real-world risk appears more moderate as there is no evidence of active exploitation (not in CISA KEV), no public proof-of-concept code available, and the EPSS score is not provided suggesting lower exploitation likelihood. The requirement for authentication (PR:L) significantly reduces the attack surface compared to unauthenticated vulnerabilities. While the high confidentiality impact is concerning for an e-commerce plugin handling payment data, the authentication requirement and lack of exploitation evidence suggest this is a priority for patching but not an immediate crisis. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with a low-privileged WordPress account (such as a customer or subscriber role) could craft malicious SQL injection payloads through vulnerable plugin endpoints to extract sensitive data from the database. Using blind SQL injection techniques, they could systematically extract user credentials, payment information, order details, and other confidential e-commerce data by observing true/false responses or timing delays. While no public proof-of-concept exists, the low attack complexity means a moderately skilled attacker could develop working exploits with standard SQL injection tools. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 13, 2026
WP EasyCart versions 5.8.13 and earlier are vulnerable to blind SQL injection, allowing authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries through improper input sanitization. This vulnerability could enable attackers to extract or manipulate sensitive database information, though code execution is not possible. No patch is currently available for this high-severity vulnerability (CVSS 8.5).
Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
A SQL injection vulnerability exists in the WP EasyCart WordPress plugin (versions up to 5.8.13) that allows authenticated attackers with low privileges to execute blind SQL injection attacks. This vulnerability enables attackers to extract sensitive database information including user credentials, payment data, and other confidential information stored by the e-commerce plugin, with a CVSS score of 8.5 indicating high severity. While no proof-of-concept or active exploitation has been reported, the vulnerability affects a widely-used WordPress e-commerce solution.
RemediationAI
Upgrade WP EasyCart to a version newer than 5.8.13 immediately, as this version range is confirmed vulnerable to SQL injection attacks. If immediate patching is not possible, implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to filter SQL injection attempts, restrict plugin access to trusted administrator accounts only, and monitor database query logs for suspicious activity. Regular security audits of database queries and input validation mechanisms should be conducted, especially for any custom modifications to the plugin.

Technical ContextAI · show details
WP EasyCart is a WordPress e-commerce plugin developed by levelfourdevelopment that enables online store functionality. The vulnerability stems from improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands (CWE-89), a classic SQL injection flaw where user-supplied input is not properly sanitized before being incorporated into SQL queries. Blind SQL injection specifically means attackers cannot see query results directly but can infer information through boolean-based or time-based techniques. The affected versions range from the initial release through version 5.8.13, indicating this is a long-standing security issue in the codebase.

DescriptionCVE.org
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in levelfourdevelopment WP EasyCart wp-easycart allows Blind SQL Injection.This issue affects WP EasyCart: from n/a through <= 5.8.13.
Executive ViewAI
A critical SQL injection vulnerability affects WP EasyCart installations through version 5.8.13, potentially allowing attackers to extract sensitive database information including customer payment data and business records. Organizations using this plugin face immediate risk of data breach and compliance violations until remediation is completed.
Implement Web Application Firewall rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting WP EasyCart endpoints; restrict database user permissions to principle of least privilege; enable database activity monitoring and alerting; isolate affected systems from network if patch unavailable and plugin cannot be disabled; consider disabling the affected plugin functionality or restricting access to trusted IPs only until patch is released.
