CVE-2024-1793: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in aweber AWeber – Free Sign Up Form and Landing Page Builder Plugin for Lead Generation and Email Newsletter Growth
The AWeber – Free Sign Up Form and Landing Page Builder Plugin for Lead Generation and Email Newsletter Growth plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'post_id' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 7.3.14 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 AWeber WordPress plugin for lead generation and email newsletter growth contains an SQL Injection vulnerability (CWE-89) via the 'post_id' parameter. This parameter is insufficiently sanitized, allowing authenticated administrators to inject additional SQL queries into existing database commands. This flaw exists in all versions up to 7.3.14. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.2, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
An attacker with administrator-level access can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the backend database. This can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, modification of data, or 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 users who already have significant access.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict administrator access to trusted personnel only and monitor for suspicious activity related to SQL query manipulation. Avoid using vulnerable plugin versions and consider disabling or removing the plugin if not essential.
