Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
The WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace – REST API plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'id' parameter in the update_delivery_status() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.2 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 Subscriber-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

The WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace REST API plugin has a SQL injection vulnerability in the update_delivery_status() function. The 'id' parameter is not properly escaped and the SQL query lacks prepared statements, allowing authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access to inject malicious SQL queries and extract sensitive data from the database.

MitigationUpdate the plugin to version 1.6.3 or later which contains the fix. Until patched, consider restricting subscriber-level API access and monitor logs for suspicious SQL patterns.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm plugin installation and version
    Navigate to WordPress admin > Plugins > Installed Plugins, locate 'WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace' (or 'WooCommerce Marketplace' plugin), and note the installed version number.
    Affected if The installed version is below 1.6.3 (e.g., 1.6.2, 1.6.1, 1.5.x, etc.)
  2. Verify REST API is accessible
    Make a GET request to the site's REST API endpoint (usually /wp-json/ or /wp-json/wc/v3/) and confirm the API responds without being blocked by firewall or authentication rules.
    Affected if The REST API endpoint is publicly accessible or accessible to authenticated users with Subscriber role
  3. Check for Subscriber-level user accounts
    In WordPress admin > Users, review the list of users and identify any accounts assigned the 'Subscriber' role.
    Affected if At least one user account with Subscriber role exists in the system
  4. Identify vulnerable endpoint exposure
    Test access to the update_delivery_status endpoint by examining plugin REST API routes (often at /wp-json/wvm/v1/delivery/status or similar path under the vendor marketplace namespace).
    Affected if The plugin's delivery status update endpoint is accessible to authenticated requests
  5. Review API access controls
    Check WordPress REST API settings via plugin configurations or site settings to confirm whether subscriber-role users can make POST/PUT requests to the vendor marketplace API endpoints.
    Affected if Subscriber-level users are permitted to make API calls to vendor marketplace endpoints

You are affected if the WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace plugin is installed with a version lower than 1.6.3 AND your REST API is accessible to users with Subscriber role.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Update the plugin to version 1.6.3 or later which contains the fix. Until patched, consider restricting subscriber-level API access and monitor logs for suspicious SQL patterns.
