Exploitability
| 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?
The WPQuiz plugin for WordPress has a SQL Injection vulnerability in the 'id' attribute of the 'wpquiz' shortcode in all versions up to 0.4.2. This happens because user input is not properly escaped or prepared in the SQL query, allowing authenticated users with Contributor-level access or higher to inject additional SQL commands. This can lead to unauthorized extraction of sensitive data from the database.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can allow attackers with Contributor-level access or above to extract sensitive information from the WordPress database by injecting malicious SQL queries. This could lead to data breaches, exposure of confidential information, and potential compromise of the website's data integrity.
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Immediate mitigation steps include uninstalling or disabling the WPQuiz plugin, as it has been removed from download availability pending a full security review. Avoid using versions up to and including 0.4.2. Additionally, restrict Contributor-level access and above until a secure version is available. Monitor for updates or patches from the plugin maintainers before re-enabling. [1]
