Product Table and List Builder for WooCommerce Lite SQL Injection Vulnerability

A time-based SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in the Product Table and List Builder for WooCommerce Lite plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 4.6.2. The vulnerability arises from inadequate escaping of user-supplied data in the 'search' parameter, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject additional SQL queries. This exploitation could lead to the extraction of sensitive information from the database.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for time-based SQL injection, where an attacker can manipulate SQL queries to extract data from the database. This could include sensitive information such as user data or other confidential records.

Reproduction

The vulnerability can be reproduced by sending a request to the WordPress site with the 'search' parameter. The injected SQL code can be crafted to exploit the vulnerability by appending additional SQL commands to the original query, taking advantage of the insufficient escaping of user input.

Remediation

Users are advised to update the Product Table and List Builder for WooCommerce Lite plugin to version 4.6.3 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
