ELEX WooCommerce Advanced Bulk Edit Products, Prices & Attributes SQL Injection Vulnerability

A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in the ELEX WooCommerce Advanced Bulk Edit Products, Prices & Attributes plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 1.4.9. The vulnerability arises from inadequate escaping of user-supplied data in the 'attribute_value_filter' parameter, coupled with a lack of proper preparation in the SQL query. This flaw enables authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access or higher to inject additional SQL queries into existing ones, potentially leading to the extraction of sensitive information from the database.

Impact

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

Remediation

Users are advised to update the plugin to version 1.5.0 or a newer patched version.
