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 Geo Mashup plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection through the 'sort' parameter in all versions up to and including 1.13.17.
This vulnerability arises because the plugin does not properly escape or prepare the user-supplied 'sort' parameter before including it in SQL queries.
As a result, unauthenticated attackers can inject additional SQL commands into existing queries, potentially extracting sensitive information from the database.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This SQL Injection vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to manipulate database queries by injecting malicious SQL code via the 'sort' parameter.
The primary impact is the potential unauthorized extraction of sensitive information from the WordPress database.
Because the attacker does not need to be authenticated, this increases the risk of data breaches, exposing user data or other confidential information stored in the database.
The CVSS score of 7.5 (High) reflects the severity and ease of exploitation of this vulnerability.
How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:
