Description
The Woo superb slideshow transition gallery with random effect plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'woo-superb-slideshow' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 9.1 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 Contributor-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 affected WordPress plugin processes the 'woo-superb-slideshow' shortcode with a parameter that is not properly escaped, creating an SQL injection vector. Exposing this flaw allows authenticated users with Contributor+ privileges to append arbitrary SQL statements to the existing database query. The attacker could exfiltrate sensitive data from the WordPress database, compromising confidentiality without affecting availability.

Affected Systems

WordPress users running the gopiplus Woo superb slideshow transition gallery with random effect plugin in versions 9.1 and earlier are affected. The vulnerability exists in all releases up to and including 9.1, regardless of package/installation method.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 6.5, this vulnerability carries a moderate severity. The EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a low likelihood of exploitation in the wild, and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Nevertheless, because the payload requires only Contributor+ level access, an attacker who gains or already possesses such privileges could exploit the flaw, and the injection could be performed from within the WordPress administration interface.
