CVE-2024-9130: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in stellarwp GiveWP – Donation Plugin and Fundraising Platform
The GiveWP – Donation Plugin and Fundraising Platform plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the ‘order’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.16.1 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 GiveWP Manager-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries within the Legacy View mode, that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The GiveWP plugin for WordPress suffers from a time-based SQL Injection vulnerability (CWE-89) via the 'order' parameter in all versions up to 3.16.1. This occurs because the plugin does not properly escape user-supplied input nor sufficiently prepare the SQL query in Legacy View mode. Authenticated attackers with Manager-level privileges or above can inject additional SQL queries, enabling unauthorized data extraction from the database. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 7.2, indicating high severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated user with elevated privileges to perform time-based SQL Injection attacks, potentially leading to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive database information, modification of data, and disruption of service. This compromises the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system's data managed by the GiveWP plugin.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict GiveWP Manager-level access to trusted users only and monitor for unusual database activity related to the plugin. Avoid using Legacy View mode if possible, as it is the attack vector. Follow updates from stellarwp for an official patch or mitigation instructions.
