Unauthenticated SQL injection via unprepared checkout UUID
Published May 20, 2026 · Updated May 20, 2026
SQL injection in Constant Contact Creative Mail 1.6.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to read database data via checkout_uuid. DatabaseManager::has_checkout_consent() interpolates the WooCommerce guest-session checkout UUID into a quoted SQL predicate without parameter binding or strict UUID validation. The path requires abandoned-cart management and WooCommerce classic checkout; a guest can obtain the public checkout nonce and infer data readable by the WordPress database account through query timing.
