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.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability has a high severity score (CVSS 9.3) and can be exploited remotely without privileges or user interaction. It can lead to high confidentiality impact, meaning sensitive data could be exposed, and low availability impact, potentially causing some disruption.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is an SQL Injection issue in WP Directory Kit, specifically a Blind SQL Injection. It occurs because the software does not properly neutralize special elements used in SQL commands, allowing an attacker to manipulate database queries.

Compliance Impact

The vulnerability is a Blind SQL Injection in WP Directory Kit that allows an attacker to execute unauthorized database queries. Given the CVSS score indicating high confidentiality impact (C:H), this could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data.

Such unauthorized data access can result in violations of data protection regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, which require safeguarding personal and sensitive information against unauthorized disclosure.

Therefore, exploitation of this vulnerability could compromise compliance with these standards by exposing protected data.
