Description
The Likes and Dislikes Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'post' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.0 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 Likes and Dislikes Plugin uses a user‑supplied 'post' parameter in a raw SQL query without proper escaping or prepared statements. This weakness permits unauthenticated attackers to append arbitrary SQL fragments, enabling extraction of sensitive data from the database via standard SQL injection techniques.

Affected Systems

All versions of the erumfaham Likes and Dislikes Plugin up to and including 1.0.0 are affected. No patch version is listed in the data, so any install of 1.0.0 or earlier is vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.5 indicates a high severity, and an EPSS score of 2% suggests a low likelihood of exploitation. The vulnerability is not currently listed in CISA's KEV catalog. Attackers can exploit the flaw by sending an unauthenticated HTTP request to the plugin’s endpoint containing a malicious 'post' value, leveraging the lack of input validation and unsafe SQL construction.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the plugin to a fixed version that removes the injection vulnerability.
  • If an update is not immediately available, restrict external access to the plugin’s entry point so that only authenticated users can provide the 'post' parameter.
  • As a temporary fix, modify the plugin code to enforce numeric validation on the 'post' variable or escape it before inserting it into the SQL query.
