Description
The Abandoned Cart Pro for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'validate' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 10.8.0 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. AES-CTR is a malleable stream cipher, so an attacker who obtains one legitimate token by abandoning a cart with an email address they control can recover the keystream and forge a ciphertext carrying arbitrary SQL. The HMAC check added in 10.4.1 is enforced only when the wcap_nonce parameter is present, so omitting the parameter skips it entirely.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Abandoned Cart Pro for WooCommerce plugin permits unauthenticated attackers to inject SQL through the "validate" parameter. Insufficient escaping and the absence of prepared statements allow an attacker to append arbitrary SQL clauses. Because AES‑CTR is a malleable stream cipher, a legitimate token can be modified to carry forged ciphertext that contains malicious SQL code, and the plugin’s HMAC check is bypassed when the optional "wcap_nonce" parameter is omitted.

Affected Systems

Tyche Softwares’ Abandoned Cart Pro for WooCommerce is affected in all releases up to and including version 10.8.0. Any WordPress site running any of those versions is vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.5 indicates the vulnerability poses a moderate to high risk. The EPSS score of less than 1% suggests that the edge probability of exploitation is low, yet the vulnerability is still feasible without authentication or special privileges. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the lack of authentication and the possibility to recover and forge the keystream make it attractive for attackers who can control an email address to obtain a valid token.
