CVE-2024-10862: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in webaways NEX-Forms – Ultimate Forms Plugin for WordPress
The NEX-Forms – Ultimate Form Builder – Contact forms and much more plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'search_params' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 8.7.15 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. This can be exploited via CSRF due to a lack of nonce validation on the get_table_records AJAX action.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-10862 is an SQL Injection vulnerability in the NEX-Forms – Ultimate Forms Plugin for WordPress affecting all versions up to 8.7.15. The issue is caused by improper neutralization of special elements in the 'search_params' parameter, allowing attackers to inject additional SQL queries. The lack of nonce validation on the get_table_records AJAX action enables exploitation via CSRF. The vulnerability can lead to unauthorized extraction of sensitive database information. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.9, reflecting a medium severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and high confidentiality impact but no integrity or availability impact. No patch or official fix has been documented yet.
Potential Impact
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform SQL Injection attacks that may disclose sensitive information from the database without authentication. The vulnerability also allows exploitation through CSRF due to missing nonce validation. There is no indication of integrity or availability impact. No known exploits in the wild have been reported so far.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, users should consider disabling or restricting access to the vulnerable AJAX action if possible. Monitoring for updates from the vendor or security advisories is recommended. No vendor advisory or patch links are currently available.
