Overview
The WooCommerce Price Drop Alert plugin (v1.1) contains an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in an AJAX action. Attackers can inject SQL to read or modify database contents. This flaw allows extraction of sensitive data from WordPress sites.
Description
The Price Drop Alert for Woo Commerce WordPress plugin through 1.1 does not sanitize and escape parameters before using them in a SQL query on an AJAX action available to unauthenticated users, allowing unauthenticated attackers to perform SQL injection attacks and extract sensitive data from the database.
Impact
Confidentiality is compromised as attackers can read private data, integrity is threatened by potential data modification, and availability may be impacted if the database is corrupted. Site owners, administrators, and end‑users are directly affected.
Remediation
Update the plugin to the latest version (>=1.2) where the input is properly sanitized. If an update is not possible, disable the vulnerable AJAX endpoint or restrict it to authenticated users. Additionally, enforce least‑privilege database access and consider a WAF rule to block suspicious SQL patterns.
Risk context
The vulnerability is rated critical with a CVSS v3 score of 9.8, indicating a high urgency for remediation. No EPSS data is available, but the severity alone warrants immediate action.
