-
Verify License Manager for WooCommerce is installedIn 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-woocommerceAffected if The plugin is present in the WordPress installation

-
Examine database query code for unsanitized parametersReview 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 placeholdersAffected if SQL queries directly incorporate user input without parameterized binding or without using esc_sql() sanitization
