Overview

The Piraeus Bank WooCommerce Payment Gateway plugin for WordPress (versions up to and including 1.6.5.1) contains a time-based blind SQL Injection vulnerability identified as CVE-2024-0610. The vulnerability was discovered and disclosed on February 17, 2024. This security issue affects the 'MerchantReference' parameter due to insufficient escaping of user-supplied input and inadequate SQL query preparation (NVD).

Technical details

The vulnerability is classified as a SQL Injection (CWE-89) with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (CRITICAL), indicating maximum severity.

Impact

The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries to existing queries, potentially leading to the extraction of sensitive information from the database. Given the CVSS score of 9.8, this represents a critical security risk with potential for complete system compromise (NVD).
