CVE-2024-1776: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in zestardtechnologies Admin side data storage for Contact Form 7
The Admin side data storage for Contact Form 7 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'form-id' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.1 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 administrator-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 Contact Form 7 plugin's Admin side data storage by zestardtechnologies suffers from an SQL Injection vulnerability (CWE-89) via the 'form-id' parameter. Due to improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands, authenticated users with administrator privileges can append malicious SQL queries to existing ones. This vulnerability affects all versions up to 1.1.1 and can result in unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data from the database. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.2, indicating high severity, with attack vector network, low attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, and impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
An attacker with administrator-level access can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary SQL queries on the backend database. This can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, modification of data, and potential disruption of service. The impact affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system's data. Since exploitation requires high privileges, the risk is limited to trusted users with admin access.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation is currently available from the vendor. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is released, restrict administrator access to trusted personnel only and monitor for unusual database activity related to the Contact Form 7 plugin. Avoid using vulnerable versions and consider disabling the affected plugin component if possible.
