CVE-2024-12613: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in coder426 Passwords Manager
The Passwords Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the $wpdb->prefix value in several AJAX fuctions in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.8 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-2024-12613 is a SQL Injection vulnerability affecting the coder426 Passwords Manager WordPress plugin up to version 1.4.8. The issue stems from insufficient escaping of the $wpdb->prefix user-supplied parameter in multiple AJAX functions, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject additional SQL queries. This improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands (CWE-89) can lead to unauthorized extraction of sensitive information from the database. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without authentication and requires low attack complexity. No vendor patch or official fix has been documented yet.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated attackers to perform SQL Injection attacks by appending malicious SQL to existing queries via the $wpdb->prefix parameter. This can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive database information. The vulnerability does not impact integrity or availability directly but compromises confidentiality. 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, users should consider disabling or removing the vulnerable Passwords Manager plugin or restricting access to AJAX endpoints if possible. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
