• Severity: high (CVSS 7.2 v3.1)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 0.7% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: none known
• Published: 2023-07-12 · updated 2026-06-17
• Weakness: CWE-89

Description

The WP EasyCart plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the ‘orderby’ parameter in versions up to, and including, 5.4.10 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level or above permissions, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

Affected products

• Wpeasycart Wp Easycart: before 5.4.11 — fixed in 5.4.11

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Wpeasycart Wp Easycart 5.4.11. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
