CVE-2024-4779: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in unitecms Unlimited Elements For Elementor
The Unlimited Elements For Elementor (Free Widgets, Addons, Templates) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the ‘data[post_ids][0]’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.107 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-2024-4779 is an SQL Injection vulnerability in the Unlimited Elements For Elementor plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 1.5.107. The issue arises from improper neutralization of special elements in the 'data[post_ids][0]' parameter, which is insufficiently escaped before being used in SQL queries. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level privileges or higher can exploit this to append additional SQL commands, potentially extracting or manipulating sensitive database data. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-89 and has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8, indicating high severity.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to perform SQL Injection attacks, leading to potential unauthorized access to sensitive database information, data modification, or data deletion. This compromises the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected WordPress site's database.
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 and higher user privileges where possible and monitor for suspicious activity related to SQL queries involving the 'data[post_ids][0]' parameter. Avoid using affected plugin versions in sensitive environments.
