CWE ID Description
CWE-89 The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.

Executive Summary

The Click n Chat WordPress plugin before version 1.1.3 has a vulnerability where user-supplied sort parameters are not properly sanitized before being used in SQL ORDER BY clauses. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious SQL code, potentially accessing or manipulating the database.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, check if your WordPress site uses the Click n Chat plugin versions 1.0.4 to 1.1.2. Inspect the plugin files for improper sanitization of 'sort_by' and 'sort_order' parameters in SQL queries. Use WPScan to scan for vulnerable versions.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability allows attackers to perform SQL injection attacks without authentication. They could extract sensitive data from the database, modify or delete data, or even take control of the affected WordPress site. The high CVSS score of 8.6 indicates significant risk.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized data access or breaches, violating GDPR's data protection requirements and HIPAA's security rules for protected health information. Organizations may face fines or penalties for non-compliance if this flaw leads to a data breach.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update the Click n Chat plugin to version 1.1.3 or later. If updating is not possible, consider disabling the plugin until an update is applied. Monitor database queries for unusual activity.
