Description
The WP-Addpub plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'wp-addpub' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.8 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

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.

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability is a SQL Injection in the WP-Addpub WordPress plugin (versions up to 1.2.8). It occurs because the plugin does not properly escape user-supplied input in the 'wp-addpub' shortcode, allowing authenticated users with Contributor-level access or higher to inject additional SQL queries into existing database queries.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

An attacker with Contributor-level access or above can exploit this vulnerability to extract sensitive information from the database by injecting malicious SQL queries. This could lead to unauthorized disclosure of data, potentially compromising the confidentiality of the website's information.
