CVE-2025-49315 Overview
CVE-2025-49315 is a SQL Injection vulnerability affecting the PersianScript Persian Woocommerce SMS plugin for WordPress. The flaw stems from improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command [CWE-89]. It affects all versions of the persian-woocommerce-sms plugin from unspecified initial releases through version 7.0.10. Authenticated attackers with high privileges can inject malicious SQL statements into database queries. Successful exploitation crosses a security boundary, exposing confidential database contents and enabling limited availability impact on the WordPress site.
Critical Impact
Authenticated attackers can extract sensitive database contents, including customer order data and WordPress credentials, from affected e-commerce sites running versions up to 7.0.10.
Affected Products
- PersianScript Persian Woocommerce SMS plugin versions up to and including 7.0.10
- WordPress installations running the persian-woocommerce-sms plugin
- WooCommerce stores using Persian Woocommerce SMS for order notifications

Technical Details for CVE-2025-49315
Vulnerability Analysis
The vulnerability resides in the Persian Woocommerce SMS plugin, which integrates SMS notification functionality with WooCommerce order workflows. The plugin fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before incorporating it into SQL queries. This classification falls under [CWE-89] Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command.
Exploitation requires authenticated access with high privileges. The attack vector is network-based with low complexity and no user interaction. Successful exploitation results in a scope change, meaning the vulnerability impacts resources beyond the immediate security boundary. Impact includes high confidentiality loss and low availability impact, while integrity remains unaffected.
The EPSS probability for this vulnerability is 0.355% with a percentile of 27.4, indicating relatively low observed exploitation activity in the wild.
Root Cause
The root cause is missing input sanitization in database query construction. The plugin concatenates request parameters directly into SQL statements without using prepared statements or the WordPress $wpdb->prepare() API. This permits attackers to break out of query context and append arbitrary SQL syntax.
Attack Vector
An authenticated attacker with elevated privileges submits crafted input to a vulnerable plugin endpoint. The malicious payload contains SQL metacharacters that alter query semantics. The database server executes the injected statements under the WordPress database user's permissions. Attackers can extract table contents, enumerate schema information, and stage further attacks against the WooCommerce data store. Full technical details are described in the Patchstack SQL Injection Advisory.
Detection Methods for CVE-2025-49315
Indicators of Compromise
- Unusual SQL syntax such as UNION SELECT, SLEEP(), or INFORMATION_SCHEMA references in WordPress access logs targeting plugin endpoints
- Unexpected outbound database queries or error messages referencing wp_users, wp_options, or wp_woocommerce_order_items tables
- Requests to persian-woocommerce-sms endpoints containing URL-encoded quotes, semicolons, or SQL comment sequences (--, #, /*)
Detection Strategies
- Deploy a web application firewall (WAF) with signatures for SQL injection patterns targeting WordPress plugin paths
- Enable MySQL general query logging temporarily and review queries originating from the WordPress database user for anomalous constructs
- Monitor WordPress administrative sessions for privilege abuse combined with abnormal request volumes to plugin URLs
Monitoring Recommendations
- Alert on HTTP requests containing SQL injection payloads directed at /wp-admin/ or /wp-content/plugins/persian-woocommerce-sms/ paths
- Track authenticated user activity from privileged accounts and correlate with database error responses
- Ingest WordPress and web server logs into a centralized analytics platform for retrospective hunting against known SQLi indicators
How to Mitigate CVE-2025-49315
Immediate Actions Required
- Identify all WordPress installations running the persian-woocommerce-sms plugin at version 7.0.10 or earlier
- Restrict administrative and high-privilege account access until a patched version is deployed
- Enable WAF rules to block SQL injection payloads targeting the vulnerable plugin endpoints
- Rotate WordPress administrator credentials and database passwords if compromise is suspected
Patch Information
At the time of publication, the vendor advisory referenced by Patchstack lists all versions through 7.0.10 as affected. Administrators should consult the Patchstack advisory and the plugin repository for the latest fixed release and upgrade immediately.
Workarounds
- Deactivate and remove the persian-woocommerce-sms plugin until a patched version is available
- Apply virtual patching through a WAF that blocks SQL metacharacters in requests to the affected plugin paths
- Restrict high-privilege WordPress accounts using multi-factor authentication and IP allowlisting to reduce exploitation risk
