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 Bookster – WordPress Appointment Booking Plugin is vulnerable to SQL Injection through the 'raw' parameter in all versions up to and including 2.1.1. This vulnerability arises because the plugin does not properly escape user-supplied input and fails to sufficiently prepare the SQL query. As a result, authenticated users with Administrator-level access or higher can inject additional SQL queries into existing ones.
This injection allows attackers to manipulate the database queries executed by the plugin, potentially extracting sensitive information from the database.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can impact you by allowing an authenticated administrator or higher user to perform unauthorized SQL queries on your database. This can lead to the extraction of sensitive information stored in the database.
Although the vulnerability does not allow modification or deletion of data (as the CVSS score indicates no impact on integrity or availability), the confidentiality of your data is at risk.
How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:

How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?
This vulnerability involves SQL Injection via the 'raw' parameter in the Bookster WordPress Appointment Booking Plugin up to version 2.1.1. Detection typically requires monitoring for suspicious SQL query patterns or attempts to inject SQL through authenticated administrator-level access.
Since the vulnerability requires authenticated administrator access and targets the 'raw' parameter, detection can involve reviewing web server logs or application logs for unusual or malformed SQL queries or parameters related to 'raw'.
Specific commands to detect this vulnerability are not provided in the available resources.
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
The vulnerability exists in all versions of the Bookster plugin up to and including 2.1.1. An immediate mitigation step is to update the plugin to a version later than 2.1.1 where this vulnerability is fixed.
Since the vulnerability requires administrator-level access, restricting and monitoring administrator accounts and their activities can help reduce risk.
