Impact

The Product Catalog 8 1.2 plugin for WordPress contains a flaw that allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary SQL queries through the selectedCategory parameter when making a POST request to admin-ajax.php with the UpdateCategoryList action. The plugin does not properly sanitize this input, enabling the execution of malicious SQL code and the extraction of sensitive database information from WordPress tables.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects EvWill’s Product Catalog 8 plugin version 1.2 deployed on WordPress sites. No other vendors or product versions are listed as impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.8 reflects a high‑severity flaw that can be exploited without authentication. The EPSS score is not available, so the current probability of exploitation remains uncertain, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers can trigger the vulnerability by sending crafted POST requests to admin‑ajax.php, invoking the UpdateCategoryList action, and injecting SQL. Successful exploitation would allow the attacker to read data from the WordPress database tables.
