CVE-2026-3985: Creative Mail – Easier WordPress & WooCommerce Email Marketing <= 1.6.9 - Unauthenticated SQL Injection via 'checkout_uuid' Parameter
The Creative Mail – Easier WordPress & WooCommerce Email Marketing plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'checkoutuuid' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.9. This is due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query in the hascheckoutconsent() method.
