CVE-2024-0610
CWE-89Published: February 17, 2024· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
The Piraeus Bank WooCommerce Payment Gateway plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based blind SQL Injection via the 'MerchantReference' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.5.1 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
Risk Analysis
The Piraeus Bank WooCommerce Payment Gateway plugin is vulnerable to a time-based blind SQL injection flaw. This critical vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries, potentially leading to unauthorized database access and sensitive information theft.
There is no known public exploit for this vulnerability, which is remotely exploitable due to its network-based attack vector.
Users should update the plugin to a version beyond 1.6.5.1 to resolve the insufficient input validation.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2024-0610 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.8.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-89): SQL injection vulnerabilities allow attackers to manipulate database queries, potentially exposing or modifying sensitive data.
