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

This vulnerability is an SQL Injection in the WordPress Wp Tabber Widget plugin (up to version 4.0). It allows attackers to inject malicious SQL commands into the database through the plugin, enabling them to interact directly with the database. This can lead to unauthorized data theft or manipulation. The vulnerability is classified under OWASP Top 10 category A3: Injection and has a high severity CVSS score of 8.5. [1]

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can allow attackers to steal or manipulate your website's database data. This could result in data breaches, loss of data integrity, and potentially partial denial of service due to database issues. Since the plugin is abandoned and no official fix is available, the risk remains unless you replace the plugin or apply a virtual patch. Deactivating the plugin alone does not fully mitigate the risk. [1]

Detection Guidance

Detection of this SQL Injection vulnerability in the Wp Tabber Widget plugin is challenging because plugin-based malware scanners may be unreliable. There are no specific commands provided for detection. Professional incident response services are recommended if compromise is suspected. [1]

Mitigation Strategies

Immediate mitigation steps include urgently replacing the Wp Tabber Widget plugin with an alternative solution, as no official fix or updated version is available. Deactivating the plugin alone does not eliminate the risk unless a virtual patch (vPatch) is applied. Patchstack offers virtual patching to auto-mitigate the vulnerability and provide rapid protection. [1]
