CVE-2024-12609: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in dasinfomedia School Management System for Wordpress
The School Management System for Wordpress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'view-attendance' page in all versions up to, and including, 92.0.0 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query in the mj_smgt_view_student_attendance() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Student-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows authenticated users with Student-level access or higher to perform SQL Injection attacks, potentially extracting sensitive information from the database. The vulnerability does not affect confidentiality, integrity, or availability beyond data disclosure. No known active exploitation has been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the affected functionality to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity. Avoid granting unnecessary privileges to users. Follow vendor communications for updates on patches or official mitigations.
