CVE-2026-14962

CVE-2026-14962 is an unauthenticated SQL injection flaw (CWE-89) in the ELEX WooCommerce Request a Quote WordPress plugin, caused by insufficient sanitisation and escaping of a parameter before it is used in a SQL query. Because the vulnerable code path requires no authentication, any unauthenticated visitor to a site running the plugin can inject SQL through the affected parameter. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to extract arbitrary data from the WordPress database, which may include sensitive tables such as user accounts and order data; the CVSS scoring (8.6, confidentiality-high) indicates impact is limited to data disclosure, with no integrity or availability loss. Only WooCommerce stores running versions of the plugin before 2.4.1 are affected. As of now there is no public proof-of-concept, the flaw is not in CISA's KEV catalog, and no in-the-wild exploitation is known.

What to do: Sites running the ELEX WooCommerce Request a Quote plugin should upgrade to version 2.4.1 or later. If an immediate upgrade is not possible, consider virtual patching via a WAF (e.g., blocking SQL metacharacters in the vulnerable parameter) and monitor web/database logs for anomalous queries. Because exploitation may be silent, also review whether sensitive database content such as user credentials may have been accessed.
