Technical details

The vulnerability is a SQL injection flaw in the 'validate' parameter of cart recovery links (versions up to 10.8.0) caused by insufficient input escaping and lack of prepared statements. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit AES-CTR stream cipher malleability: after obtaining a legitimate token by abandoning a cart with an email they control, they recover the keystream and forge ciphertext to inject arbitrary SQL. The HMAC validation added in v10.4.1 is bypassable by omitting the wcap_nonce parameter, entirely skipping the integrity check.
