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

A blind SQL injection vulnerability exists in the License Manager for WooCommerce plugin (versions through 3.0.12). The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious SQL queries through unsanitized input parameters, potentially allowing data exfiltration from the WordPress database.

MitigationUpdate the License Manager for WooCommerce plugin to the latest version which should contain parameterized queries or proper input sanitization. If no update is available, manually audit and parameterize all database queries in the plugin code.

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. Verify License Manager for WooCommerce is installed
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'License Manager for WooCommerce', or check the /wp-content/plugins/ directory for a folder named license-manager-for-woocommerce
    Affected if The plugin is present in the WordPress installation
  2. Check the installed plugin version
    In the WordPress plugins list, click on the plugin to expand its details and read the version number, or open the main plugin PHP file (such as license-manager-for-woocommerce.php) and look for the Version header in the plugin comment block
    Affected if Version is 3.0.12 or any version below 3.0.12
  3. Locate plugin endpoints that handle user input
    Search the plugin directory for PHP files that process $_GET, $_POST, or $_REQUEST superglobals, particularly those related to license key validation, activation, or lookup functionality
    Affected if The plugin accepts user input through web request parameters in any license-related functionality
  4. Examine database query code for unsanitized parameters
    Review the plugin source code for direct SQL queries using $wpdb->query(), $wpdb->get_results(), or similar methods where user-supplied values are concatenated or interpolated into the query string without using $wpdb->prepare() with placeholders
    Affected if SQL queries directly incorporate user input without parameterized binding or without using esc_sql() sanitization

The environment is affected if License Manager for WooCommerce plugin version 3.0.12 or lower is installed and contains SQL queries that accept unsanitized user input.
