Executive Summary

The wp-review-slider-pro WordPress plugin before version 12.7.12 has a flaw where an AJAX handler does not sanitize user input before using it in a SQL query. This allows any authenticated user, even a subscriber, to inject malicious SQL code. The results of these SQL queries are then returned to unauthenticated visitors.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, check the installed version of the wp-review-slider-pro plugin. If it is below 12.7.12, the system is vulnerable. Use commands like 'wp plugin list' in WordPress CLI or inspect the plugin files directly.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability allows attackers to manipulate your WordPress database, potentially stealing sensitive data, modifying or deleting content, or gaining unauthorized access to your site. Since results are exposed to unauthenticated users, the attack can affect visitors as well as site owners.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to data breaches, exposing personal or sensitive information. Such breaches may violate GDPR, HIPAA, or other regulations, potentially resulting in legal penalties, fines, or reputational damage for organizations handling protected data.

Mitigation Strategies
