Sensitive database disclosure via unescaped shortcode parameter
Published Oct 31, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
SQL injection in SIP Reviews Shortcode for WooCommerce 1.2.3 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read database data. The woocommerce_reviews shortcode incorporates its no_of_reviews attribute into an existing SQL query without sufficient escaping or parameter preparation. Contributor-level permission to publish the shortcode is required, and successful injection exposes sensitive database information without altering it.
