CVE-2024-1711: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in mischiefmarmot Create
The Create by Mediavine plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'id' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.4 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-2024-1711 is a critical SQL Injection vulnerability in the Create WordPress plugin by mischiefmarmot affecting all versions up to 1.9.4.

No patch or remediation details are currently available from the vendor or other sources.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the 'id' parameter, potentially leading to full compromise of the database confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
