Impact
Unauthenticated remote attackers can extract sensitive data from your WordPress database. They only need network access to generate an abandoned cart token and forge SQL queries via the validate parameter.
Root cause
The plugin fails to properly escape and parameterize the validate input, allowing attackers to exploit AES-CTR ciphertext malleability and bypass optional HMAC validation by simply omitting the wcap_nonce parameter.
Affected systems
Abandoned Cart Pro for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress up to, and including, 10.8.0
CVSS v3.1 · CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Fix & remediation
Upgrade Abandoned Cart Pro for WooCommerce to a version higher than 10.8.0. If you cannot patch immediately, deactivate the plugin until the update can be applied.
$ wp plugin update abandoned-cart-pro --dry-runAI-suggested. Run it in staging first and check it against the vendor advisory. Why?
NVD 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.
