Description
The VikRentCar Car Rental Management System plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to blind SQL Injection via the 'catid' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.10 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. A Contributor-level user can store a malicious block via the REST API in a pending post and trigger server-side rendering by previewing that post, bypassing wp_magic_quotes since the attribute is sourced from post_content via parse_blocks rather than a superglobal.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a blind SQL injection in the catid parameter of VikRentCar Car Rental Management System up to release 1.4.10. Insufficient escaping and lack of prepared statements allow an attacker to inject arbitrary SQL. An authenticated contributor-level user can store malicious blocks via the REST API, preview them, and trigger server‑side rendering. This can append additional SQL statements to the existing query, enabling extraction of sensitive database content such as booking data or user credentials. The weakness is CWE-89, representing an injection flaw.

Affected Systems

All installations of VikRentCar Car Rental Management System version 1.4.10 or earlier on WordPress are affected. The plugin was provided by the vendor e4jvikwp. No other versions are listed as vulnerable; the newer 1.4.11 release contains a fix that sanitizes the catid parameter.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 indicates moderate severity. An attacker must be authenticated with contributor‑level access to exploit the flaw; therefore, the vulnerability is not remotely exploitable by unauthenticated users. The EPSS score is not available, and the flaw is not currently listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, suggesting a lower known exploitation probability at this time. However, because the injection can retrieve arbitrary database data, the potential impact on confidentiality remains significant. The likely attack vector is application‑layer exploitation via the REST API and block preview functionality, and the attacker needs to have a pending post containing malicious code.
