## Technical details

The plugin fails to properly escape the 'bwfan_cart_id' parameter in the guest Store API checkout handler, allowing time-based SQL injection. An attacker first injects a malicious payload via an unauthenticated POST request, then waits for a scheduled Action Scheduler job to execute when orders transition from pending, failed, or cancelled states, at which point the injected SQL executes and can exfiltrate data. This is a two-step persisted attack requiring only a cart nonce.
