Impact

The Ni WooCommerce Sales Report WordPress plugin prior to version 4.2.0 fails to sanitize the ‘sort’ parameter before incorporating it into a SQL query. This flaw permits an unauthenticated user to inject arbitrary SQL, potentially allowing data exfiltration, tampering, or deletion from the WordPress database, and could lead to broader compromises if the database contains sensitive application data.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects all installations of the Ni WooCommerce Sales Report WordPress plugin older than version 4.2.0. Users have not been identified by a formal vendor; the plugin is distributed under the name Ni WooCommerce Sales Report.

Risk and Exploitability

The EPSS score is reported as less than 1 %, indicating a very low, but not zero, probability of exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV SQL injection—suggests high potential a crafted web request containing a malicious ‘sort’ value and directly influence the database query, with no authentication or special privileges required.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Ni WooCommerce Sales Report plugin to version 4.2.0 or later to remove the injection flaw.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately feasible, disable or block the plugin’s functionality using appropriate access controls (e.g., .htaccess restrictions or plugin deactivation).
  • Ensure that any future development implements proper input validation or parameterized queries for the ‘sort’ parameter to prevent recurrence of this weakness.
