CVE-2024-12473: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in opacewebdesign Opace AI Scribe: SEO Content Creator & Humaizer for OpenAI & Anthropic
The AI Scribe – SEO AI Writer, Content Generator, Humanizer, Blog Writer, SEO Optimizer, DALLE-3, AI WordPress Plugin ChatGPT (GPT-4o 128K) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'template_id' parameter of the 'article_builder_generate_data' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2.5 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, with Contributor-level access and above, 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 Opace AI Scribe plugin for WordPress suffers from an SQL Injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in the 'template_id' parameter of the 'article_builder_generate_data' shortcode. Due to improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands, authenticated users with Contributor or higher privileges can append malicious SQL queries to extract sensitive data from the backend database. This vulnerability affects all versions up to 2.5. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.5 (medium severity), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges at the contributor level, no user interaction, unchanged scope, high confidentiality impact, and no impact on integrity or availability.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Contributor-level or higher access can exploit this vulnerability to perform SQL Injection attacks, potentially extracting sensitive information from the database. The vulnerability does not affect integrity or availability but poses a confidentiality risk. 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, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and monitor for unusual database activity related to the 'template_id' parameter. Avoid using the vulnerable shortcode if possible. Follow vendor updates closely for an official fix.
