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 that the ThemeHunk Advance Product Search - Voice & Ajax Search for WooCommerce plugin (version ≤ 1.4.4) is installed and active on a WordPress/WooCommerce site, and that its AJAX/voice search endpoint accepting the 's' and 'match' parameters is reachable by the attacker. Per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) no authentication, elevated privileges, non-default configuration, or user interaction is needed - it is remote unauthenticated exploitation against default configurations of the plugin. The primary limiting factor is simply whether this specific plugin is deployed and its search endpoint is internet-facing; impact is bounded to data disclosure (C:H, I:N/A:N), so the flaw alone reads data rather than modifying the site. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, base 7.5) is internally consistent with the description: network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated, no user interaction, with high confidentiality impact but no integrity or availability impact - matching a read-only data-exfiltration SQLi. This is a genuinely attackable class: unauthenticated SQLi on a public endpoint is highly automatable and is a favored target for mass scanning of WordPress sites, so despite no KEV listing and no observed public PoC, the practical risk on exposed stores is meaningful. No EPSS score was provided in the input, so probabilistic exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified here. The main mitigating factors are that impact is confined to confidentiality (no direct data tampering or site takeover via this flaw alone) and that real risk depends on the plugin being installed and its search endpoint reachable. Note a data gap: no fix version is present in the input, only a Trac changeset reference, so remediation certainty is limited. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts an HTTP request to the store's AJAX product-search endpoint, placing a UNION-based SQL payload in the 's' or 'match' parameter. Because no authentication, privileges, or user interaction are required and complexity is low, the injected clause executes against the WordPress database and returns administrator password hashes, session data, or customer order details in the search response. No public PoC has been identified, but the low-complexity unauthenticated nature makes automated mass exploitation straightforward if a working payload is developed. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 16, 2026
SQL injection in ThemeHunk's Advance Product Search - Voice & Ajax Search for WooCommerce plugin (all versions ≤ 1.4.4) lets unauthenticated attackers inject arbitrary SQL through the 's' and 'match' search parameters, enabling extraction of sensitive database contents such as user credentials and order data. The flaw stems from unescaped, unprepared query construction in the plugin's AJAX search backend and is remotely exploitable without authentication or user interaction. Reported by Wordfence; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and not listed in CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to a fixed release of the plugin above 1.4.4 as soon as one is confirmed by the vendor; a code fix is visible in the WordPress.org Trac changeset (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?reponame=&old=3582785%40th-advance-product-search&new=3582785%40th-advance-product-search), so an upstream fix is available but a released patched version is not independently confirmed from the provided data - verify the current version on the plugin page before deploying. Until a patched version is installed, compensating controls include deploying a WAF rule (e.g. Wordfence) to block SQL metacharacters in the 's' and 'match' search parameters, which may cause false positives on legitimate searches containing quotes; temporarily deactivating the Advance Product Search plugin and reverting to WooCommerce's native search, which removes the voice/AJAX search feature; or restricting access to the plugin's AJAX search endpoint at the reverse proxy, with the trade-off of breaking front-end search for real customers. Consult the Wordfence advisory (https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/4aa8342f-1f36-4eb5-8b69-ab90fd85e5cb?source=cve) for detection signatures.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability is a classic CWE-89 SQL injection in a WooCommerce/WordPress search add-on. WordPress plugins are expected to sanitize input and build queries with $wpdb->prepare() placeholders; here the affected functions in inc/thaps-function.php (see referenced source lines 34, 86 and 125) concatenate the user-supplied 's' (search term) and 'match' parameters directly into an existing SQL statement without sufficient escaping or parameterization. Because the plugin exposes a public/AJAX search endpoint used by store front-ends, the injectable query runs against the WordPress database (wp_users, wp_usermeta, WooCommerce order and product tables), making it a 'generic' injection where an attacker can append UNION/subquery clauses to read arbitrary columns. The single affected package is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:themehunk:advance_product_search-_voice_&_ajax_search_for_woocommerce.

DescriptionCVE.org
The Advance Product Search- Voice & Ajax Search for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 's' and 'match' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.4 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

Executive ViewAI
ThemeHunk's Advance Product Search plugin for WooCommerce (versions ≤1.4.4) contains an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability enabling attackers to extract customer credentials and order data without user interaction. Any organization running this plugin faces immediate risk of customer database compromise and data breach exposure. No vendor patch is currently available, requiring urgent interim mitigation.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Disable plugin if search functionality is non-essential; (2) Deploy WAF rule blocking SQL injection syntax in search parameters; (3) Restrict search endpoint to known IP ranges if limited to internal users; (4) Enable enhanced database activity logging and real-time alerting for suspicious queries; (5) Apply input validation or stored procedures at database layer if plugin cannot be removed.
