Craft Commerce is Vulnerable to SQL Injection in Commerce Purchasables Table Sorting
EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.

Description
Summary
Craft Commerce is vulnerable to SQL Injection in the purchasables table endpoint. The sort parameter is split by | and the first part (column name) is passed directly as an array key to orderBy() without whitelist validation. Yii2's query builder does NOT escape array keys, allowing an authenticated attacker to inject arbitrary SQL into the ORDER BY clause.
PoC
Required Permissions
- General
- Access the control panel
- Access Craft Commerce
- Craft Commerce
- Manage orders
- Edit orders
Steps to reproduce
- Log in to the control panel
- Navigate to Commerce > Orders > Create a new order
- Click on "Add a line item" to show the purchasables table
- Intercept the AJAX request and modify the
sortparameter as follows:
GET /index.php?p=admin/actions/commerce/orders/purchasables-table&siteId=1&sort=id,(SELECT%20SLEEP(2))|asc
- Observe the delay in the response, confirming the injection
Alternatively, you can use the following curl (bash syntax) command (replace cookie and target domain as needed):
curl --path-as-is -k -H $'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:146.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/146.0' -H $'Accept: application/json, text/plain, */*' -b $'<Cookie>' $'http://craft.local/index.php?p=admin%2Factions%2Fcommerce%2Forders%2Fpurchasables-table&siteId=1&sort=id,(SELECT%20SLEEP(5))|asc'
Impact
With this Blind SQLi, an attacker can:
- Exfiltrate data character-by-character (same technique as GHSA-pmgj-gmm4-jh6j).
- Modify or destroy data (drop tables, update records, alter schema).

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for craftcms/commerce. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update craftcms/commerce to 4.10.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-j3x5-mghf-xvfw is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-j3x5-mghf-xvfw is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-j3x5-mghf-xvfw. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-j3x5-mghf-xvfw in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-j3x5-mghf-xvfw across Packagist dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
