CVE-2024-10856: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in wpdevart Booking calendar, Appointment Booking System
The Booking Calendar WpDevArt plugin is vulnerable to time-based, blind SQL injection via the `id` parameter in the “wpdevart_booking_calendar” shortcode in versions up to, and including, 3.2.19 due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. The vulnerability requires the “delete_prev_date” theme option being enabled. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access or above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing query that can be used to extract sensitive information such as passwords from the database.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Booking Calendar WpDevArt plugin suffers from a time-based blind SQL injection vulnerability via the 'id' parameter in the 'wpdevart_booking_calendar' shortcode in versions up to and including 3.2.19. This occurs due to improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands (CWE-89), specifically insufficient escaping of user input and lack of prepared statements. Exploitation requires the 'delete_prev_date' theme option to be enabled and authenticated access at contributor level or above. Successful exploitation allows attackers to append additional SQL queries to extract sensitive information such as database passwords.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level or higher privileges can exploit this vulnerability to perform blind SQL injection attacks, potentially extracting sensitive information from the database, including passwords. The vulnerability does not affect confidentiality, integrity, or availability beyond data disclosure. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a patch is available, consider disabling the 'delete_prev_date' theme option if feasible and restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply official fixes once released.
