Description
The Vitepos – Point of Sale (POS) for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'src_by' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.1 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. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers, or authenticated attackers holding any POS role (such as vtpos-cashier), to exploit the vulnerability, as the /vitepos/v1/vendor/list REST route's permission callback requires only a POS role assignment rather than any elevated WordPress capability.

Impact

The Vitepos – Point of Sale (POS) for WooCommerce plugin is vulnerable to generic SQL injection via the 'src_by' parameter. Because the input is insufficiently escaped and the existing SQL query is not properly prepared, attackers can append arbitrary SQL statements. This flaw can be leveraged by unauthenticated users or any authenticated user with a POS role, such as a cashier, to read sensitive database content.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the Vitepos – Point of Sale (POS) for WooCommerce plugin, all releases up to and including version 3.5.1. WordPress sites running any of these plugin versions are at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.5 indicates a high severity level. The EPSS score is not available, suggesting limited publicly known exploitation data; however, the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers can exploit the flaw by sending a request to the /vitepos/v1/vendor/list REST route where the permission callback only requires any POS role assignment. An unauthenticated or low‑privilege user can therefore inject SQL to retrieve confidential information from the database.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest Vitepos – Point of Sale (POS) for WooCommerce plugin version that removes the SQL injection flaw.
  • Limit REST API access so that the /vitepos/v1/vendor/list endpoint requires full WordPress administrator privileges instead of any POS role.
  • Disable or restrict the /vitepos/v1/vendor/list endpoint for unauthenticated or low‑privilege users until the vendor releases a fix.
  • Perform regular backups of the WordPress database and monitor for unauthorized SQL query activity.
