CVE-2024-13595: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in pantherius Simple Signup Form
The Simple Signup Form plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'id' attribute of the 'ssf' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.5 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
CVE-2024-13595 is an SQL Injection vulnerability in the pantherius Simple Signup Form WordPress plugin, affecting all versions up to 1.6.5. The flaw exists due to improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands, specifically insufficient escaping of the 'id' parameter in the 'ssf' shortcode. This allows authenticated users with Contributor-level privileges or higher to inject additional SQL queries into existing database queries, enabling unauthorized data extraction. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and partial privileges required.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows authenticated users with Contributor-level access or above to extract sensitive information from the database by injecting additional SQL queries. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality but does not affect integrity or availability. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict Contributor-level access and above to trusted users only. Monitor for updates from the plugin vendor or WordPress security advisories for patches addressing this vulnerability.
