CVE-2026-2232
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 · uneditedThe Product Table and List Builder for WooCommerce Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the 'search' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.6.2 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers 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 confidenceThe Product Table and List Builder for WooCommerce Lite WordPress plugin versions up to 4.6.2 contain a time-based SQL injection vulnerability in the 'search' parameter. The flaw stems from insufficient escaping of user-supplied input combined with lack of prepared statements in the underlying SQL query, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious SQL queries.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check the installed plugin versionAccess WordPress admin panel, navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins, locate 'Product Table and List Builder for WooCommerce Lite' and read the version number displayed below the plugin name. Alternatively, inspect the main plugin file (such as product-table-list-builder-for-woocommerce-lite.php) and locate the 'Version' header in the plugin comment block.Affected if the displayed version is 4.6.2 or lower (any version up to and including 4.6.2)
-
Verify WooCommerce is activeIn the WordPress admin panel, confirm WooCommerce is installed and active. The vulnerable plugin requires WooCommerce to be present for its functionality to be loaded.Affected if WooCommerce is active and the plugin version is 4.6.2 or lower
-
Confirm the search feature is exposedThe plugin exposes a product search functionality that utilizes a 'search' parameter in HTTP requests. Identify if this endpoint is publicly accessible by locating the product table shortcode or widget implementation used on the site.Affected if the product search feature is accessible to unauthenticated users and the plugin version is 4.6.2 or lower
-
Review access logs for the search parameterExamine web server access logs (Apache, Nginx, or WAF logs) for incoming requests that include a 'search' parameter. Look for unusual patterns such as SQL keywords (SELECT, UNION, SLEEP, BENCHMARK) or special characters (quotes, dashes, parentheses) appended to typical search values.Affected if the plugin version is 4.6.2 or lower and any suspicious 'search' parameter requests are found in logs
A user is affected if the Product Table and List Builder for WooCommerce Lite plugin version is 4.6.2 or earlier and the product search functionality is enabled on the site.
