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 a generic SQL Injection in the Poll Maker WordPress plugin (versions up to 6.0.7). It occurs because the 'filterbyauthor' parameter is not properly escaped or prepared in SQL queries. Authenticated users with Administrator-level access or higher can exploit this to append additional SQL commands to existing queries, potentially extracting sensitive database information.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
If exploited, this vulnerability allows attackers with Administrator-level access to extract sensitive information from the database by injecting malicious SQL queries. This can lead to unauthorized data disclosure, compromising the confidentiality of stored information.
