Vulnerability Overview
The Multiple Shipping Address Woocommerce WordPress plugin before 2.0 does not properly sanitise and escape numerous parameters before using them in SQL statements via some AJAX actions available to unauthenticated users, leading to unauthenticated SQL injections
Technical Analysis
The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no privileges on the target site, and no interaction from a victim user.
CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')
Reaching this weakness in Multiple Shipping Address Woocommerce < 2.0 takes no account at all. SQL injection happens when request data is concatenated into a query instead of being bound as a parameter, letting an attacker change the structure of the statement rather than just its values.
A working injection can read any table the database user can see, which on a WordPress install means user records, password hashes and session or API secrets stored in options. For Multiple Shipping Address Woocommerce the fix is 2.0: builds < 2.0 are affected, anything from 2.0 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 2.0, or a newer patched version
How does WordSec protect against this?
Requests carrying this pattern arrive without a session, so nothing upstream of the firewall gets a chance to reject them: WordSec's web application firewall inspects request payloads before WordPress loads them. None of that substitutes for the fix: Multiple Shipping Address Woocommerce 2.0 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
