CVE-2024-11460: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in pictureplanet Verowa Connect
The Verowa Connect plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'search_string' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.1 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-2024-11460 is an SQL Injection vulnerability in the Verowa Connect WordPress plugin (versions up to 3.0.1). The issue arises from improper neutralization of special elements in the 'search_string' parameter, allowing attackers to append malicious SQL code to existing queries. This occurs because user input is not sufficiently escaped and the SQL queries lack proper preparation, enabling unauthorized data extraction from the backend database. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without authentication and does not require user interaction.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information stored in the database. The attacker can manipulate SQL queries to extract data, potentially compromising confidentiality. There is no indication of impact on data integrity or availability. No known exploits are reported in the wild.
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 or removing the Verowa Connect plugin if possible. Avoid exposing the vulnerable parameter to untrusted input. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
