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 an authenticated session with the WooCommerce 'Shop manager' role (PR:H) on a site running WP-Lister Lite for eBay version 3.8.11 or earlier; the plugin must be installed and active. Exploitation is remote (AV:N) with low complexity and no user interaction, but the high-privilege prerequisite limits the realistic attacker pool to insiders or those who have already compromised a Shop-manager account. No fixed version is documented, so no patched configuration is confirmed to be safe. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but privilege-gated SQL injection (CWE-89) that lands in the mid-to-high band rather than a top-priority emergency. The vendor CVSS3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:L = 7.6) is internally consistent with an authenticated attacker abusing a plugin admin/AJAX action to run injected SQL that escapes the plugin's own tables and reads the entire WordPress database (Scope:Changed, Confidentiality:High). The critical limiting signal is PR:H: exploitation requires the elevated WooCommerce 'Shop manager' role, so this is realistically an insider-abuse or post-compromise/privilege-chaining scenario rather than mass internet-facing exploitation. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit code are present in the supplied data, so there is no evidence of active exploitation - the 7.6 base score somewhat overstates real-world urgency because it does not reflect how few actors hold Shop-manager access. One inconsistency worth verifying: SQL injection commonly permits writes as well as reads, yet the vendor set I:N; the description text ('SQL Injection') does not confirm read-only behavior, so integrity impact may be understated. No fixed version is stated in the source, which complicates remediation planning. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A user holding the WooCommerce 'Shop manager' role (or an attacker who has compromised such an account) sends a crafted parameter to a WP-Lister Lite for eBay admin/AJAX action; the value is concatenated into a SQL query, letting them UNION/sub-select data from any table and dump WordPress user records and password hashes beyond the plugin's scope. No public exploit code is identified in the provided data, and exploitation is remote but requires an authenticated high-privilege session. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 17, 2026
SQL injection in WP-Lister Lite for eBay 3.8.11 and earlier allows an authenticated user holding the WooCommerce 'Shop manager' role to inject arbitrary SQL into queries executed by the plugin, exposing database contents such as WordPress user hashes, order records, and customer personally identifiable information. The issue is remote, low complexity, and requires no user interaction, but the PR:H prerequisite narrows the practical attacker pool to insiders or actors who have already compromised a Shop-manager account, which is why the independent assessment places it in the mid-to-high band rather than an emergency tier. No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS data was not supplied.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis and no fixed version is documented, so remediation must be compensating-control driven until an update ships. Audit every account assigned the WooCommerce 'Shop manager' role and remove it wherever eBay listing management is not essential, since that role is the sole prerequisite for exploitation; the trade-off is reduced operational flexibility for staff who rely on those capabilities. Tighten the WordPress database user's privileges (SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE only on the wp_ database, no FILE or stacked-query privileges) to blunt the impact of any successful injection, accepting that some plugins may require broader grants. Where the plugin is not business-critical, deactivating it entirely removes the attack surface at the cost of losing eBay inventory and order synchronization. Deploy WAF or ModSecurity rules targeting SQL metacharacters on plugin-related admin-ajax and REST endpoints, accepting possible false positives on legitimate administrative traffic and noting that generic signature rules are routinely bypassed by encoded or obfuscated payloads. Enable verbose database and application logging on Shop-manager sessions to detect anomalous query patterns, and monitor the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/wp-lister-for-ebay/vulnerability/wordpress-wp-lister-lite-for-ebay-plugin-3-8-11-sql-injection-vulnerability?_s_id=cve for a patched release.

Technical ContextAI · show details
This is a CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command) flaw in a WordPress plugin that syncs WooCommerce inventory with eBay listings. User-supplied input reaching the plugin's database layer is concatenated into a SQL statement without parameterization or proper escaping, so a crafted request from a Shop-manager-authenticated session is interpreted as SQL syntax rather than data. The provided CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:L (as adjusted by the independent assessment, which raises integrity impact from N to L) reflects network reachability, no user interaction, high confidentiality loss, and a scope change (S:C): because the injection executes inside the shared WordPress database, a compromise can cross trust boundaries beyond the vulnerable plugin component and affect the broader CMS installation. The affected component is tracked as CPE cpe:2.3:a:wp_lab:wp-lister_lite_for_ebay:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* and is catalogued by ENISA as EUVD-2026-81509; the only reference supplied is the Patchstack advisory for the plugin's 3.8.11 SQL injection disclosure.

DescriptionCVE.org
Shop manager SQL Injection in WP-Lister Lite for eBay <= 3.8.11 versions.
Executive ViewAI
WP-Lister Lite for eBay (versions 3.8.11 and earlier), a WooCommerce-to-eBay integration plugin, contains a SQL injection flaw that a user with the WooCommerce 'Shop manager' role can exploit to read sensitive database contents, including WordPress password hashes, order records, and customer personally identifiable information. Because the flaw requires an already-privileged Shop manager account, the realistic threat is insider misuse or abuse of a compromised or over-provisioned staff account rather than an external attacker. Leadership should care because the affected data is customer PII and credential material that could trigger notification obligations, fraud exposure, and downstream lateral movement into broader corporate systems, and no vendor patch has been identified at time of analysis.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict and audit the WooCommerce 'Shop manager' role to a minimal set of trusted named users; enforce MFA and strong unique credentials on those accounts; deactivate the plugin where eBay listing functionality is not business-critical; deploy WAF or virtual-patching rules targeting SQL injection against plugin request paths; monitor database and web logs for anomalous query activity against user and order tables; and prepare for credential and PII exposure review should signs of misuse be found.
