Description
The Blog2Social: Social Media Auto Post & Scheduler plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the ‘prgSortPostType’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 8.4.4 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 Subscriber-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

Impact

The vulnerability allows an authenticated attacker with Subscriber-level access or higher to inject SQL code via the ‘prgSortPostType’ parameter of the Blog2Social plugin. This permits the attacker to append malicious queries to the plugin’s existing SQL, resulting in unintended data disclosure from the WordPress database. The weakness is a classic SQL injection (CWE‑89).

Affected Systems

WordPress sites running the Blog2Social Social Media Auto Post & Scheduler plugin version 8.4.4 or earlier are affected. The affected product is the plugin itself; any installation of version 8.4.4 or earlier on a WordPress instance is vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 indicates moderate severity, and the EPSS score of less than 1% signposts a low likelihood of exploitation at this time. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires the attacker to be logged into WordPress with at least Subscriber privileges and to manipulate the prgSortPostType parameter in a request to the plugin’s endpoint. While the description does not explicitly state the attack vector, it is inferred that the injection can occur via a crafted URL or form submission accessible to authenticated users. Once exploited, the attacker can read sensitive information such as user credentials and site metadata from the database.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Blog2Social plugin to version 8.4.5 or later to apply the official SQL injection fix.
  • If immediate upgrading is not possible, use a firewall rule or security plugin to block or log requests containing the prgSortPostType parameter to the plugin’s endpoint, thereby limiting injection attempts.
  • Assess and tighten the use of the Subscriber+ role: restrict the number of users who possess this role, or convert roles to a lower permission level if the plugin features are not required for them.
