The Payments Plugin and Checkout Plugin for WooCommerce: Stripe, PayPal, Square, Authorize.net plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the ‘order_by’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.117.5 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query.
