Description
The PGS Core plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'event' parameter in the 'save_header_builder' function in all versions up to, and including, 5.8.0 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

AI Analysis

Impact

The PGS Core plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to an unauthenticated SQL Injection through the 'event' parameter used in the 'save_header_builder' function. The flaw stems from insufficient escaping of user supplied input and the absence of parameterized queries, categorized as CWE-89. Attackers can insert additional SQL statements into the existing query, enabling them to retrieve sensitive database data without any authentication.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects PGS Core by Potenza Global Solutions, all releases up to and including version 5.8.0. No other versions or vendors are currently listed as affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.5 indicates a high severity vulnerability. The EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a low probability of exploitation in the near term, and the flaw is not currently catalogued in the CISA KEV list. Based on the description, the attack vector is a remote, unauthenticated request to the plugin’s 'save_header_builder' endpoint where the 'event' parameter can be manipulated to inject SQL.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade PGS Core to the latest version that includes the SQL injection fix.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, employ a web application firewall rule to block or sanitize requests to the 'save_header_builder' endpoint, specifically limiting or rejecting unexpected 'event' parameters.
  • Conduct a database audit to ensure no unauthorized data has been extracted or modified, and monitor logs for abnormal query activity.
