CVE-2024-12615: 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 actions 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 authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-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 Passwords Manager plugin for WordPress suffers from an SQL Injection vulnerability (CWE-89) due to improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands. Specifically, the $wpdb->prefix value used in multiple AJAX actions is not properly escaped or prepared, enabling authenticated users with Subscriber-level privileges or above to inject additional SQL queries. This vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.4.8. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.5 (medium), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and limited privileges required, with high confidentiality impact but no integrity or availability impact. No patch or remediation details are currently available.
Potential Impact
An authenticated attacker with Subscriber-level access or higher can exploit this vulnerability to inject arbitrary SQL queries via the $wpdb->prefix parameter in AJAX requests. This may allow unauthorized reading of sensitive information from the database. There is no indication of integrity or availability impact. No known exploits are reported 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 user privileges to the minimum necessary and monitor for unusual database activity related to the Passwords Manager plugin. Avoid granting Subscriber-level or higher access to untrusted users. Follow updates from the coder426 vendor for any forthcoming patches.
