The Multiple Shipping Address Woocommerce plugin is used on websites using the WooCommerce platform, enabling customers to ship products to different addresses in a single order. The plugin is widely used by online store owners who need to provide flexible shipping options for their clients. It is especially popular among businesses that deal with large orders or have customers who purchase items as gifts. By providing various shipping addresses, the plugin enhances the customer experience on WooCommerce sites. It is developed and maintained by ThemeHigh, a company known for creating WordPress and WooCommerce extensions. This specific plugin plays a crucial role in e-commerce by allowing efficient handling of shipping logistics.
The vulnerability in question is an SQL Injection, which is a common type of web security vulnerability that allows an attacker to interfere with the queries that an application makes to its database. In this instance, it arises due to insufficient sanitization and escaping of input parameters in SQL statements. Unauthenticated users can exploit these unsanitized inputs through AJAX actions. This vulnerability could provide attackers the ability to access or manipulate the underlying database of the application, which could result in significant data breaches or loss of data integrity.
The SQL Injection vulnerability exists in the Multiple Shipping Address Woocommerce plugin's AJAX actions. It fails to adequately escape and sanitize various parameters that are being fed into the SQL statements, especially in data fed via AJAX requests. An example of this vulnerability could be seen in the 'ocwma_choice_address' action, where attackers can inject malicious SQL code into the 'sid' parameter. This dangerous code can manipulate SQL commands executed by the database server, leading to compromise of the web application's data integrity and exposure to unauthorized data access.
When exploited, this SQL Injection vulnerability can lead to a range of serious effects. Attackers might gain the ability to execute arbitrary SQL queries within the database, exposing sensitive customer information. This can even result in complete control over the system, allowing for the extraction, deletion, or modification of data. Consequently, an attack exploiting this vulnerability might undermine users' trust, harm business reputation, and result in legal implications due to data protection regulations. Additionally, unauthorized access can be leveraged to conduct further attacks on the system or the broader network.
