What is CVE-2026-16065?

The Welcart e-Commerce plugin for WordPress, prior to version 2.11.32, contains a vulnerability where it fails to adequately sanitize data imported from CSV files. This oversight allows users with Editor roles and above to potentially execute SQL injection attacks, manipulating the database and gaining unauthorized access to sensitive information. Proper sanitization is essential to ensure the security of applications that interact with user-supplied data, and the absence of this measure in the affected versions poses significant risks to site integrity and user data.

Affected Version(s)

Welcart e-Commerce 0 < 2.11.32

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
