Description
The Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar – Amelia plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the ‘search’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.35 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 Amelia WordPress plugin version 1.2.35 and earlier contain a SQL Injection flaw in the search parameter because the input is not properly escaped or bound in the existing query. An unauthenticated attacker can inject arbitrary SQL code, allowing extraction of confidential information from the database. This vulnerability is identified as CWE‑89, reflecting that the underlying misuse of an SQL parser can be exploited without authentication.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites running the Amelia Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar plugin up to and including version 1.2.35 are vulnerable. Sites using the updated 1.2.36 release are not affected as the fix was applied to the EventRepository logic.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.5 represents a high‑severity risk; however the EPSS probability of exploitation is less than 1%, indicating a low likelihood of widespread attacks at present. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, which suggests it has not yet been observed in known exploits. Attackers would need to craft a web request targeting the search endpoint, exploit the injection point, and read data, requiring no privileges on the host server.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Amelia plugin to version 1.2.36 or later to remove the vulnerable code
  • If a prompt upgrade cannot be performed, disable or restrict the plugin’s search functionality—blocking the search endpoint or preventing unauthenticated access
  • Deploy a temporary filter or Web Application Firewall rule that blocks SQL meta-characters (e.g., ';', '--', '/*') in the search parameter to reduce exploitation risk
