CVE-2024-12195: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in wedevs Project Manager – AI Powered Project Management, Task Management, Kanban Board & Time Tracker
The WP Project Manager – Task, team, and project management plugin featuring kanban board and gantt charts plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'project_id' parameter of the /wp-json/pm/v2/projects/2/task-lists REST API endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.16 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, who have been granted access to a project, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The wedevs Project Manager plugin for WordPress, versions up to and including 2.6.16, contains an SQL Injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in the 'project_id' parameter of the /wp-json/pm/v2/projects/2/task-lists REST API endpoint. This occurs due to insufficient escaping and lack of proper preparation of the SQL query using this parameter. Authenticated attackers with access to a project can append malicious SQL code to extract sensitive data from the database. The vulnerability is rated medium severity with a CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5 (Network attack vector, low attack complexity, requires privileges, no user interaction, impacts confidentiality). No patch or official fix information is currently available.
Potential Impact
An attacker with authenticated access to a project can exploit this vulnerability to perform SQL Injection attacks, allowing unauthorized extraction of sensitive information from the backend database. The integrity and availability of the system are not impacted according to the CVSS vector. 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 an official fix is released, restrict project access to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to the REST API endpoint. Avoid exposing the vulnerable endpoint to untrusted networks. Do not rely on generic mitigations; await vendor guidance for a definitive fix.
