Description

Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in the Welcart e-Commerce plugin 1.3.12 for WordPress allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the (1) changeSort or (2) switch parameter in the usces_itemedit page to wp-admin/admin.php.

• CWE-89Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
