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 vulnerability is a SQL Injection in the Advanced Ads – Ad Manager & AdSense WordPress plugin (versions up to 2.0.15). It occurs via the 'order' parameter due to insufficient escaping and lack of proper preparation of the SQL query. Authenticated users with Administrator-level access or higher can exploit this to append additional SQL queries to existing ones, potentially extracting sensitive information from the database. [2]
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability allows authenticated administrators to perform SQL Injection attacks, which can lead to unauthorized extraction of sensitive data from the database. This can compromise the confidentiality of information stored in the WordPress site, potentially exposing user data or other sensitive content managed by the plugin. [2]
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
To mitigate this vulnerability, immediately update the Advanced Ads – Ad Manager & AdSense WordPress plugin to version 2.0.16 or later, as this update includes fixes that normalize and restrict the 'order' parameter to prevent SQL Injection attacks. Additionally, ensure that only trusted users have Administrator-level access to your WordPress site to reduce the risk of exploitation. [2]
