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.

Executive Summary

The Quotes Llama WordPress plugin before version 3.1.6 has a flaw where user input in the 'sc' parameter is not properly sanitized before being used in SQL queries. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious SQL code, enabling them to read arbitrary data from the database, including sensitive information like password hashes.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, check if the Quotes Llama WordPress plugin version 3.1.6 or earlier is installed. Test for SQL injection by sending a POST request to admin-ajax.php with a manipulated 'sc' parameter targeting the 'quotes-llama-search' or 'select_search_page' action.

Impact Analysis

Attackers can exploit this to read arbitrary data from the database, including sensitive information like password hashes. This could lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, or further attacks on the system.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to personal data, violating GDPR and HIPAA requirements for data protection and security. Organizations may face legal penalties, fines, or reputational damage if such a breach occurs due to non-compliance with these regulations.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update the Quotes Llama plugin to version 3.1.6 or later. If updating is not possible, consider disabling the plugin until a patch is applied to prevent exploitation.
