Detection & mitigation playbook

Vendor / appliance

  1. Detect

    Inventory every ithemes paypal pro deployment and check each version against the affected-products list above.

  2. Fix

    Apply the ithemes paypal pro security patch or hotfix for CVE-2020-14092 on the affected version, following the vendor advisory for your exact build.

  3. Workarounds

    Until you can upgrade, make sure every query built from user input uses parameterised statements or a prepared-statement API rather than string concatenation, and reduce the database account's privileges so an injected query cannot read or alter data beyond what the feature needs. Alongside that, restrict the management interface to trusted networks and apply the vendor's recommended configuration mitigations.
