Woomotiv WordPress Plugin SQL Injection Vulnerability

A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in the Live Sales Notification for WooCommerce - Woomotiv plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 3.6.1. The vulnerability arises from inadequate escaping of user-supplied data in the 'woomotiv_seen_products_.*' cookie, coupled with a lack of proper preparation in the SQL query. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to inject additional SQL commands into existing queries, potentially leading to the extraction of sensitive information from the database.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for SQL injection, where attackers can manipulate SQL queries to access or modify database information. In this case, it could be used to extract sensitive data from the database.

Reproduction

To reproduce this vulnerability, send a request with the 'woomotiv_seen_products_.*' cookie set to a value that includes injected SQL. The plugin's SQL query will execute the appended SQL code, allowing access to the database information.

Remediation

Users are advised to update the Woomotiv plugin to version 3.6.3 or later.
