CVE-2024-11437: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in solwininfotech Timeline Designer
The Timeline Designer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 's' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.4 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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-11437 is an SQL Injection vulnerability in the Timeline Designer WordPress plugin by solwininfotech. The issue exists in all versions up to 1.4 due to improper neutralization of special elements in the 's' parameter, which is used directly in SQL queries without sufficient escaping or parameterization. This allows unauthenticated attackers to append malicious SQL code to existing queries, potentially extracting sensitive data from the database. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.9 (medium severity), with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and requires high privileges, but no user interaction.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow an unauthenticated attacker to extract sensitive information from the database by injecting SQL commands via the vulnerable 's' parameter. The integrity and availability of the database are not impacted according to the CVSS vector. There are no known active exploits reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, users should consider disabling the Timeline Designer plugin or restricting access to it to trusted users only. Avoid exposing the vulnerable parameter to untrusted inputs. Monitor vendor channels for updates or patches addressing this vulnerability.
