Who should care

Defenders of WordPress installations using the Abandoned Cart Pro for WooCommerce plugin, especially those with versions up to and including 10.8.0, should assess their exposure and prioritize updating the plugin. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to potentially extract sensitive information from the database by injecting malicious SQL queries.

Why it matters

CVE-2026-102251 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Abandoned Cart Pro for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress, allowing unauthenticated SQL injection. Defenders should prioritize updating the plugin to prevent potential data breaches and information disclosure.

• Potential sensitive information disclosure from the database
• Increased risk of data breaches due to unauthenticated SQL injection
• Possible disruption of database operations through injected queries
• Need for immediate plugin update or mitigation to prevent exploitation

Technical summary

The Abandoned Cart Pro for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthenticated SQL injection via the 'validate' parameter. This is due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied parameter and a lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to append additional SQL queries to existing ones, potentially leading to sensitive information disclosure from the database.

Defensive priority

Recommended defensive actions

• Immediately update Abandoned Cart Pro for WooCommerce to a version beyond 10.8.0 if available
• Restrict access to sensitive database information
• Monitor database queries for suspicious activity
• Implement additional security measures such as web application firewalls
• Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified
• Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
• Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented

Evidence notes

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied 'validate' parameter and a lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. An attacker can exploit this by obtaining a legitimate token through abandoning a cart with a controlled email address, recovering the keystream, and forging a ciphertext to carry arbitrary SQL.
