CVE-2026-3599
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 Riaxe Product Customizer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'options' parameter keys within 'product_data' of the /wp-json/InkXEProductDesignerLite/add-item-to-cart REST API endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.2. This is due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied parameter and insufficient 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 confidenceUnauthenticated SQL injection in the Riaxe Product Customizer (InkXE Product Designer Lite) WordPress plugin. The vulnerability exists in the /wp-json/InkXEProductDesignerLite/add-item-to-cart REST API endpoint where the 'options' parameter within 'product_data' is not properly sanitized or escaped before being used in SQL queries, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL commands.

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.
-
Verify the plugin is installedCheck for the InkXE Product Designer Lite plugin in your WordPress installation: navigate to wp-content/plugins/ or check via WordPress admin dashboard under PluginsAffected if The plugin Riaxe Product Customizer / InkXE Product Designer Lite is present in the WordPress installation
-
Identify the installed plugin versionRead the main plugin file (usually inkxe-product-designer-lite.php or similar in wp-content/plugins/) and locate the version header comment, or check the plugin row in WordPress admin Plugins pageAffected if The version is 2.1.2 or lower, since the fix is reportedly beyond 2.1.2
-
Confirm the vulnerable REST API endpoint existsCheck if the file handling the REST route exists in the plugin directory, typically look for files that register the /wp-json/InkXEProductDesignerLite/add-item-to-cart endpointAffected if The REST endpoint /wp-json/InkXEProductDesignerLite/add-item-to-cart is registered and accessible without authentication
-
Inspect the SQL query handling for the options parameterExamine the plugin PHP files that process the add-item-to-cart REST endpoint, specifically look for SQL queries using the 'options' parameter from 'product_data' without prepared statementsAffected if The code uses the 'options' parameter directly in SQL queries without parameterized queries or proper escaping
-
Test unauthenticated access to the endpointSend a crafted POST request to /wp-json/InkXEProductDesignerLite/add-item-to-cart with a test payload in the 'options' parameter to observe if the endpoint processes it without authenticationAffected if The endpoint accepts unauthenticated requests and processes the 'options' parameter without sanitization
A user is affected if the InkXE Product Designer Lite plugin is installed with version 2.1.2 or lower AND the REST API endpoint /wp-json/InkXEProductDesignerLite/add-item-to-cart is accessible without authentication and processes the 'options' parameter in SQL queries without prepared statements.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpdate the plugin to a version beyond 2.1.2 if available; otherwise, implement parameterized queries/prepared statements for all SQL queries using the 'options' parameter and add proper input validation on the REST API endpoint.
