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?
This vulnerability is an SQL Injection in the wpForo Forum plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 2.4.9. It occurs in the Subscriptions Manager due to insufficient escaping and lack of proper preparation of user-supplied parameters in SQL queries. Authenticated users with Subscriber-level access or higher can inject additional SQL commands into existing queries, potentially extracting sensitive information from the database.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
The vulnerability allows attackers with Subscriber-level access or above to perform SQL Injection attacks, which can lead to unauthorized extraction of sensitive information from the database. This can compromise the confidentiality of user data and potentially expose private or sensitive information stored within the forum's database.
How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:
This vulnerability can negatively impact compliance with standards like GDPR and HIPAA because it allows unauthorized access to sensitive personal data stored in the database. Such data breaches violate data protection and privacy requirements mandated by these regulations, potentially leading to legal and financial consequences.
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Update the wpForo Forum plugin to version 2.4.10 or later, which includes a patch that sanitizes user input by casting forum IDs to integers before using them in SQL queries, thereby mitigating the SQL injection vulnerability. [2]
