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 Infility Global plugin for WordPress has a SQL Injection vulnerability in the 'orderby' and 'order' parameters in all versions up to and including 2.15.16.
This vulnerability exists because the plugin does not properly escape user-supplied parameters and does not sufficiently prepare the existing SQL query within the show_control_data::post_list() function.
Authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access or higher can exploit this flaw to append additional SQL queries to existing ones, potentially extracting sensitive information from the database.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can allow an attacker with low-level authenticated access (Subscriber-level or above) to perform SQL Injection attacks.
Such an attack can lead to unauthorized extraction of sensitive information from the database.
The CVSS score of 6.5 indicates a medium severity impact, with high confidentiality impact but no impact on integrity or availability.
