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 · moderate confidence

SQL injection vulnerability in the Recover abandoned cart for WooCommerce plugin (recover-wc-abandoned-cart) allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious SQL commands through unsanitized user inputs, potentially enabling complete database compromise including theft or modification of customer data, order information, and WordPress credentials.

MitigationUpdate to the latest version of the plugin (2.6 or higher) immediately. If no patched version is available, disable the plugin and review database access logs for indicators of compromise; consider alternative cart recovery solutions.

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. Locate the recover-wc-abandoned-cart plugin directory
    Navigate to your WordPress installation's wp-content/plugins/ directory and search for a folder named 'recover-wc-abandoned-cart' or similar naming variant. If the folder exists, the plugin is installed.
    Affected if The plugin directory exists in wp-content/plugins/
  2. Determine the installed plugin version
    Open the main plugin PHP file (typically recover-wc-abandoned-cart.php) and locate the version comment or Version header in the file header. Alternatively, check the readme.txt file for the version field.
    Affected if The version number cannot be compared to the affected range because no specific version data was provided in this advisory; obtain the affected version range from the official WordPress plugin repository or vendor security advisory.
  3. Verify the plugin is active
    Log into the WordPress admin dashboard and navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins. Confirm that recover-wc-abandoned-cart shows as 'Active', or query the wp_options table where option_name = 'active_plugins' and check if the plugin slug is listed.
    Affected if The plugin is active and processing requests through its functionality.
  4. Identify exposed plugin endpoints
    Review the plugin's PHP files for any AJAX handlers (wp_ajax_*), REST API routes, or form processing code that accepts user input. These are the entry points where unsanitized SQL injection could occur.
    Affected if The plugin processes user-supplied input through its functionality without sanitization.

You are affected if the recover-wc-abandoned-cart plugin is installed, active, and your installed version falls within the affected version range provided in the official security advisory.
