CVE-2024-0705
Overview
This vulnerability is a SQL Injection affecting the themehigh Payment Gateway of Stripe for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress. The root cause is insufficient escaping and lack of proper parameterized queries on the user-supplied 'id' parameter within the plugin's SQL statements. This flaw resides in all versions up to and including 3.7.9 of the plugin, specifically impacting the SQL query construction logic handling input parameters.
Vulnerability Description
The Stripe Payment Plugin for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'id' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.7.9 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability remotely to execute arbitrary SQL queries, potentially extracting sensitive information from the database such as user data or payment details. No user interaction or privileges are required (CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N). This can lead to data breaches and compromise of the integrity and availability of the affected system's backend data, impacting business operations and customer trust.
Solution
Upgrade the themehigh Payment Gateway of Stripe for WooCommerce plugin to a version later than 3.7.9 where the issue is resolved. The vendor has addressed the vulnerability by implementing proper escaping and prepared statements in the SQL query handling the 'id' parameter. Detailed patch information and version updates are available in the WordPress plugin repository changelog and the Wordfence advisory at https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/2652a7fc-b610-40f1-8b76-2129f59390ec.

Full Analysis
The vulnerability present in the Stripe Payment Plugin for WooCommerce arises from an SQL Injection flaw that exploits insufficient input validation and escaping mechanisms. Specifically, the vulnerability is triggered through the 'id' parameter, which is inadequately sanitized before being incorporated into SQL queries. This oversight allows attackers to manipulate the SQL commands executed by the application, enabling them to inject arbitrary SQL code. The lack of prepared statements or parameterized queries exacerbates the issue, as it permits attackers to append additional SQL commands to the existing queries, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive data stored in the database.
Attack vectors for this vulnerability are primarily web-based, targeting the application's endpoints that process the 'id' parameter. An unauthenticated attacker could craft a malicious request that includes SQL injection payloads, which would be executed by the database server. For instance, an attacker might send a request that alters the intended SQL query to return user credentials, payment information, or other sensitive data. Exploitation scenarios could range from simple data extraction to more complex attacks, such as modifying or deleting records, which could severely disrupt business operations. The ease of exploitation, combined with the potential for significant data breaches, makes this vulnerability particularly concerning for organizations that rely on the affected plugin for payment processing.
The real-world impact of this vulnerability can be profound, especially for e-commerce businesses that utilize the Stripe Payment Plugin for WooCommerce. Successful exploitation could lead to the exposure of customer data, including payment information, which not only jeopardizes customer trust but also poses compliance risks with regulations such as GDPR or PCI DSS. The financial repercussions of a data breach can be substantial, encompassing costs related to incident response, legal liabilities, and potential fines. Moreover, the reputational damage incurred from a security breach can have long-lasting effects on customer loyalty and brand integrity, making the business risk associated with this vulnerability significant.
To detect and mitigate this vulnerability, organizations should implement a multi-faceted approach. Regular security assessments, including penetration testing and code reviews, can help identify vulnerabilities in web applications. Employing web application firewalls (WAFs) can provide an additional layer of protection by filtering out malicious requests before they reach the application. Moreover, developers should adopt secure coding practices, such as using prepared statements and parameterized queries, to ensure that user inputs are properly sanitized. Keeping the plugin and all related software up to date is crucial, as updates often include patches for known vulnerabilities. Organizations should also educate their development teams on the risks associated with SQL Injection and the importance of secure coding practices to prevent similar vulnerabilities in the future.
In conclusion, the SQL Injection vulnerability in the Stripe Payment Plugin for WooCommerce poses a significant threat to organizations using this plugin for payment processing. The potential for unauthorized data access and the associated business risks underscore the importance of proactive security measures. By implementing robust detection and mitigation strategies, organizations can safeguard their systems against exploitation and protect sensitive customer information from malicious actors.
CSURFACE threat intelligence has updated the severity rating for CVE-2024-0705, elevating the CVSS score from 7.5 to a critical 9.8. This adjustment reflects a refined understanding of the vulnerability’s impact, particularly emphasizing the ease with which unauthenticated attackers can exploit the SQL Injection flaw to extract sensitive payment and customer data from affected WooCommerce installations. Although our telemetry does not indicate a surge in active exploitation or the emergence of new proof-of-concept exploits, the vulnerability’s critical rating underscores its potential for severe data compromise if weaponized. The elevated CVSS score signals an increased urgency for defenders to prioritize detection and remediation efforts, as the risk of significant financial and reputational damage has grown. The stable EPSS score near the 95th percentile further confirms that this vulnerability remains a high-risk target within the threat landscape, warranting heightened vigilance despite the absence of immediate exploitation trends.
