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 valid WordPress administrator credentials (PR:H in CVSS vector). Exploitation possible only after successful authentication to WordPress admin dashboard with high-privilege account. BEAR woo-bulk-editor plugin must be installed and activated on the WordPress instance. Attack requires knowledge of WordPress database structure and blind SQL injection techniques to extract data without direct query output visibility. No user interaction required once admin access obtained (UI:N). Network-accessible WordPress admin interface (AV:N) enables remote exploitation. Limiting factor: high privilege barrier makes this primarily an insider threat or post-compromise escalation scenario rather than mass exploitation vector. |
| Impact | Real-world risk assessment reveals moderate-to-high severity but limited practical exploitability. CVSS 7.6 indicates high impact, but the PR:H (high privilege required) prerequisite restricts exploitation to users with WordPress administrator credentials, significantly narrowing the attack surface. The changed scope (S:C) elevates concern as attackers could pivot from the plugin to extract data from the broader WordPress database including user credentials, posts, or WooCommerce customer data. EPSS data not available in provided intelligence. No CISA KEV listing confirms no widespread active exploitation. Patchstack disclosure increases public awareness but no POC code explicitly referenced. Attack complexity is low (AC:L) once admin access obtained, making this a priority for environments where administrator accounts face compromise risk through credential stuffing, insider threats, or supply chain attacks. Primary risk driver is the privilege escalation potential from compromised admin accounts to full database access. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A compromised WordPress administrator account (obtained through phishing, credential reuse, or insider threat) logs into the WordPress dashboard and navigates to BEAR bulk editor functionality. The attacker crafts malicious input containing SQL injection payloads in bulk edit parameters, exploiting insufficient input validation. Using blind SQL injection techniques with time-based delays or boolean conditions, the attacker systematically extracts sensitive data from the WordPress database including user password hashes, customer PII from WooCommerce tables, or session tokens for privilege escalation to other accounts. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – May 12, 2026
Blind SQL injection in BEAR woo-bulk-editor plugin for WordPress up to version 1.1.7.1 allows high-privilege authenticated administrators to extract database contents through specially crafted SQL queries. The scope change in CVSS (S:C) indicates potential impact beyond the plugin itself, enabling access to other WordPress data or resources. No public exploit code or active exploitation indicators identified at time of analysis, but Patchstack public disclosure increases weaponization risk.
RemediationAI
Update BEAR woo-bulk-editor plugin to version 1.1.7.2 or later if available, verifying release notes address CVE-2026-45213. Check Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/woo-bulk-editor/vulnerability/wordpress-bear-plugin-1-1-7-1-sql-injection-vulnerability for confirmed patched version and installation guidance. If patch not yet released, implement compensating controls: restrict WordPress administrator access to trusted IP addresses via .htaccess or firewall rules, enforce multi-factor authentication for all admin accounts, audit administrator user list and remove unnecessary elevated accounts, enable WordPress database activity logging to detect blind SQL injection patterns (time delays, unusual queries). Consider temporarily disabling the plugin if bulk editing functionality not actively required. Monitor Patchstack and WordPress plugin repository for security updates. Note that IP restrictions may impact legitimate remote administration and MFA adds authentication friction.

Technical ContextAI · show details
BEAR is a WordPress plugin providing bulk editing capabilities for WooCommerce products, developed by RealMag777. The vulnerability manifests as CWE-89 (SQL Injection) where user-controlled input from authenticated administrators is incorporated into SQL queries without proper sanitization or parameterization. The blind SQL injection variant means attackers cannot see query results directly but can infer data through timing-based or boolean-based techniques. The CPE identifier cpe:2.3:a:realmag777:bear confirms the specific vendor and product namespace. SQL injection in WordPress plugins typically occurs when developers use direct database queries via wpdb without prepared statements, allowing attackers to append malicious SQL syntax.

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in RealMag777 BEAR woo-bulk-editor allows Blind SQL Injection.This issue affects BEAR: from n/a through <= 1.1.7.1.
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2026-45213 is a blind SQL injection vulnerability in the BEAR woo-bulk-editor WordPress plugin (versions up to 1.1.7.1) that permits authenticated administrators to extract sensitive database contents, including non-plugin data across the WordPress instance. This vulnerability requires administrative-level access but poses elevated risk due to public vulnerability disclosure and the potential for insider threats or compromised admin accounts to exfiltrate customer or operational data.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Disable the woo-bulk-editor plugin immediately if not actively required; (2) Restrict plugin access via role-based permissions-limit administrator-equivalent roles to trusted personnel only; (3) Implement database query logging and alerting to detect anomalous SQL patterns; (4) Enforce multi-factor authentication on all administrative accounts; (5) Segment the WordPress database from other sensitive systems where feasible.
