CVE-2024-5793: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in Favethemes Houzez Theme - Functionality
The Houzez Theme - Functionality plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the ‘currency_code’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.2 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 Custom-level (seller) 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 Houzez Theme - Functionality WordPress plugin suffers from an SQL Injection vulnerability (CWE-89) via the 'currency_code' parameter. The plugin fails to properly sanitize or prepare SQL queries involving this parameter, allowing authenticated users with at least Custom-level access to inject additional SQL commands. This vulnerability affects all versions up to 3.2.2 and can be exploited remotely over the network without user interaction. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.8, reflecting high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated attacker with Custom-level or higher privileges to execute arbitrary SQL commands within the database context. This can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, modification or deletion of data, and disruption of service. The vulnerability compromises the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected WordPress site’s data.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the vulnerable plugin. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
