CVE-2024-9022: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in totalsoft TS Poll – Survey, Versus Poll, Image Poll, Video Poll
The TS Poll – Survey, Versus Poll, Image Poll, Video Poll plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the ‘orderby’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.0 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
CVE-2024-9022 is an SQL Injection vulnerability (CWE-89) affecting the totalsoft TS Poll WordPress plugin versions up to 2.4.0. The issue is due to improper neutralization of special elements in the 'orderby' parameter, which is insufficiently escaped and not properly prepared in SQL queries. Authenticated attackers with Administrator privileges can exploit this to append malicious SQL queries, potentially extracting sensitive data from the backend database. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network with low attack complexity but requires high privileges. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 7.2, indicating a high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated administrator to perform SQL Injection attacks via the 'orderby' parameter, potentially leading to unauthorized disclosure, alteration, or deletion of sensitive database information. This compromises the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected WordPress site's data managed by the TS Poll plugin.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict Administrator-level access to trusted users only and monitor for unusual database activity related to the TS Poll plugin. Avoid using the vulnerable plugin versions and consider disabling the plugin if possible until a patch is available.
