Description
The Events Manager – Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more! plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the ‘orderby’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 7.0.3 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 Events Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to a time‑based SQL Injection (CWE‑89) through the orderby parameter in all releases; the value supplied by the user is concatenated into an existing query without proper escaping or preparation. An attacker can append additional SQL commands to the query, enabling the extraction of sensitive database contents without any authentication. This flaw directly compromises data confidentiality and could also allow attackers to influence query execution flow.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites that use the Events Manager – Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more! plugin from netweblogic in version 7.0.3 or earlier. Any installation hosting this plugin and not yet patched is susceptible.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.5 indicates a high severity, while the EPSS score of 56% reflects a relatively high likelihood of exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, and its unauthenticated nature allows attackers with web access to potentially exfiltrate data.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Events Manager plugin to the latest version released by netweblogic.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, validate the orderby parameter by allowing only a whitelist of expected values and escape any user input before appending it to the SQL statement.
  • Restrict the privileges of the database account used by WordPress so it can only perform SELECT operations, thereby limiting the potential damage if an injection is executed.
