How the Exploit Works
The CVE-2025-47645 vulnerability arises from an inadequate sanitization of user-supplied input. Attackers can exploit this flaw by injecting malicious SQL statements into input fields, which are then processed by the application. Given the nature of SQL injection, an attacker could potentially manipulate SQL queries to bypass authentication, read sensitive data, modify database data, execute administrative operations on the database, or even execute commands on the underlying operating system.
Conceptual Example Code
Here’s a hypothetical example of how the vulnerability might be exploited:
POST /product/edit HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
product_id=1; DROP TABLE users; --In this example, the attacker injects a malicious SQL command (`DROP TABLE users; –`) into the `product_id` parameter. If the application fails to properly sanitize this input, it would execute the SQL command, deleting the ‘users’ table from the database.
Mitigation Guidance
Users of ELEX WooCommerce Advanced Bulk Edit Products, Prices & Attributes are advised to apply the vendor patch to address this vulnerability. If a patch is not immediately available or applicable, utilizing a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can offer temporary mitigation by detecting and blocking SQL Injection attempts. Regularly updating and patching software, along with implementing secure coding practices and input validation, can significantly reduce the risk of such vulnerabilities.
