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.

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

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in the Order Splitter for WooCommerce plugin (versions <= 5.3.0) where user-supplied input is not properly sanitized before being used in SQL queries. An attacker could exploit this to inject malicious SQL commands, potentially accessing, modifying, or deleting database contents including customer order data.

MitigationUpgrade to version 5.3.1 or later which contains the security patch. If patching is not immediately possible, disable the plugin until an update is available.

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 Order Splitter for WooCommerce is installed
    Navigate to WordPress admin > Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'Order Splitter for WooCommerce' in the list
    Affected if The plugin is not found in the installed plugins list, then this CVE does not apply
  2. Check the installed plugin version
    In the Plugins list, click on the plugin to view its details, or check the plugin header in /wp-content/plugins/order-splitter-for-woocommerce/order-splitter-for-woocommerce.php for the 'Version' field
    Affected if The version number displayed is 5.3.0 or lower (for example: 5.3.0, 5.2.9, 5.2.0, etc.)
  3. Verify WooCommerce is active
    In WordPress admin > Plugins, confirm that WooCommerce is installed and activated
    Affected if WooCommerce is not active, the plugin functionality including the vulnerable code path is not accessible
  4. Inspect SQL query patterns in plugin files
    Examine PHP files in /wp-content/plugins/order-splitter-for-woocommerce/ for direct SQL queries using $wpdb->prepare or unsanitized variable interpolation into SQL statements, particularly in files handling order splitting functionality
    Affected if Raw SQL queries are found without proper sanitization using $wpdb->prepare or equivalent escaping functions, combined with user-supplied input being passed directly

The environment is affected if the Order Splitter for WooCommerce plugin is installed with version 5.3.0 or lower and WooCommerce is active, allowing the SQL injection vulnerability to be exploited.
