High
8.1/10

Summary

An SQL injection issue was identified in the Divido payment extension for OpenCart. As an anonymous, unauthenticated user, if the Divido payment module is installed (it does not have to be enabled), it is possible to exploit SQL injection to gain unauthorized access to the backend database. For any site that is vulnerable, any unauthenticated user could exploit this to dump the entire OpenCart database, including customer PII data. This issue affects the package opencart/opencart through 3.0.3.9, and 3.1.0.0_a1.

CWE-89 - SQL Injection

Structured Query Language (SQL) injection attacks are one of the most common types of vulnerabilities. They exploit weaknesses in vulnerable applications to gain unauthorized access to backend databases. This often occurs when an attacker enters unexpected SQL syntax in an input field. The resulting SQL statement behaves in the background in an unintended manner, which allows the possibility of unauthorized data retrieval, data modification, execution of database administration operations, and execution of commands on the operating system.
