CVE-2024-1751: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in themeum Tutor LMS – eLearning and online course solution
The Tutor LMS – eLearning and online course solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the question_id parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.1 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/student access or higher, 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-2024-1751 is a time-based SQL Injection vulnerability in the Tutor LMS WordPress plugin, specifically via the question_id parameter. The issue arises from improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands due to insufficient escaping and lack of prepared statements. Authenticated attackers with subscriber or higher roles can append malicious SQL queries to extract sensitive data from the backend database. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 2.6.1 and has a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8, reflecting high severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no user interaction required.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows authenticated users with subscriber or higher privileges to perform time-based SQL Injection attacks, potentially leading to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive database information, modification of data, and disruption of service. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. There are no known exploits in the wild currently.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict subscriber-level access where possible and monitor for suspicious activity related to SQL queries involving the question_id parameter. Avoid exposing the vulnerable plugin on publicly accessible sites or consider disabling the plugin temporarily if feasible.
