The PayPlus Payment Gateway is a widely used payment solution integrated with WooCommerce, allowing businesses to process payments seamlessly through WordPress websites. It is primarily used by e-commerce websites to offer secure and reliable transactions. The plugin is favored by small to medium-sized online retailers who need a robust solution for handling payment operations. PayPlus offers integration with multiple payment methods, enhancing user experience. Its popularity makes it a critical component of many WooCommerce-powered websites.
The SQL Injection vulnerability in the PayPlus Payment Gateway plugin allows attackers to manipulate SQL queries by exploiting an insecure API endpoint. This can be done without authentication, exposing websites to potential attacks. The vulnerability could allow malicious users to access or modify sensitive data in the database. Exploitation of this vulnerability could result in severe impacts on the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected website.
The PayPlus Payment Gateway plugin before version 6.6.9 does not properly sanitize user inputs passed through the wc-api=payplus_gateway WooCommerce API endpoint. This leads to an SQL Injection vulnerability that can be exploited by appending malicious SQL commands to a crafted URL. The vulnerable parameter is not adequately sanitized, allowing attackers to perform blind SQL injection by timing the server's response. By sending a specially crafted request, attackers can potentially extract or modify data from the backend database.
If exploited, this vulnerability could allow attackers to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information such as customer payment data, orders, and admin credentials. It may also lead to full database compromise, data loss, and potential manipulation of store records. Additionally, the website's performance could be degraded due to the execution of malicious SQL commands, or in severe cases, the site could be taken offline.
