Description
The Affiliate Program Suite — SliceWP Affiliates plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'email' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.14 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. The injection is reachable without any account because the vulnerable code path is triggered via the user_register hook fired on every successful WooCommerce My Account registration, which requires only a guest-obtainable nonce.

AI Analysis

Impact

The SliceWP Affiliates plugin is vulnerable to a generic SQL injection that occurs via the 'email' parameter. Any user can append malicious SQL to the existing query when they register through WooCommerce. This flaw allows them to read, modify or delete data from the database, exposing confidential business and user information. The weakness is a classic injection flaw identified as CWE-89.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites running the Affiliate Program Suite – SliceWP Affiliates plugin through version 1.2.14 or earlier are affected. The plugin is developed by iovamihai and is used as a WordPress extension to manage affiliate registrations.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.5 reflect a high severity attack that is unauthenticated and may be executed remotely without special privileges. EPSS data is not available, but the absence of a KEV listing does not reduce the risk, as the flaw can be exploited via a public registration form. In practice, the vulnerable code path is triggered by the WooCommerce user_register hook, which requires only a guest-obtainable nonce. Attackers can therefore reach the vulnerable code without logging in, making the exploitation straightforward for automated scanners and malicious actors.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the SliceWP Affiliates plugin to the latest released version (1.2.15 or later) which removes the insecure query handling.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, temporarily deactivate the plugin or block the user_register hook until the patch is applied to prevent new registrations from invoking the vulnerable code.
  • Implement application‑level input validation or a web‑application firewall rule that sanitizes or rejects suspicious content in the 'email' parameter to mitigate the risk if the code base remains unchanged.
