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 Quentn WP WordPress plugin before version 1.2.15 has a vulnerability where the 'orderby' and 'order' parameters are not properly sanitized or escaped before being used in SQL queries. This allows high-privilege users, such as administrators, to inject malicious SQL code into the database.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, check if the Quentn WP plugin version is 1.2.15 or below. You can use commands like 'wp plugin list' in WordPress CLI or inspect the plugin files for version information. Look for improper sanitization in the 'orderby' and 'order' parameters.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with high privileges could exploit this to manipulate the database, potentially accessing, modifying, or deleting sensitive data. This could lead to unauthorized data exposure or loss of data integrity.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access or modification of personal or sensitive data, which may violate GDPR or HIPAA compliance requirements. Organizations using the affected plugin may face legal penalties or data breach notifications.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update the Quentn WP plugin to version 1.2.15 or later. Remove unnecessary admin privileges if possible. Monitor database queries for suspicious activity, especially from admin accounts.
