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

This vulnerability is an SQL injection flaw in the WPLP Cookie Consent WordPress plugin versions before 4.4.2. It occurs because the plugin does not properly validate a pagination parameter before using it in a SQL query. This allows users with administrator privileges to inject malicious SQL code.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, check if your WordPress site uses the WPLP Cookie Consent plugin version below 4.4.2. You can verify the plugin version by inspecting the plugin files or using WordPress admin panel. Look for administrator accounts with unusual activity or unexpected SQL queries in logs.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with administrator access could exploit this to manipulate the plugin's database, potentially stealing sensitive data, altering records, or gaining unauthorized access to the WordPress site. This could lead to data breaches or site compromise.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized data access or modification, violating GDPR's data protection requirements or HIPAA's safeguards for protected health information. Non-compliance may result in legal penalties, fines, or reputational damage.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update the WPLP Cookie Consent plugin to version 4.4.2 or later. If updating is not possible, consider disabling the plugin temporarily until an update is applied. Review all administrator accounts for unauthorized changes and monitor database queries for suspicious activity.
