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 wpForo Forum plugin for WordPress has a time-based SQL Injection vulnerability in the 'wpfob' parameter in all versions up to and including 2.4.14. This occurs because the plugin does not properly escape user-supplied input and does not sufficiently prepare the existing SQL query. As a result, unauthenticated attackers can append additional SQL queries to the original query.
This allows attackers to extract sensitive information from the database by manipulating the SQL queries executed by the plugin.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can allow unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive information from your database by exploiting the SQL Injection flaw. Since the attacker does not need to be authenticated, this increases the risk of data exposure.
The impact includes potential leakage of confidential data, which could compromise user privacy and the integrity of your system.
How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:
