Description
The Houzez Property Feed plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'orderby' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.5.46 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query in the prepare_items() method of the Houzez_Property_Feed_Admin_Logs_Export_Table (and Houzez_Property_Feed_Admin_Logs_Import_Table) class. The user-controlled $_GET['orderby'] and $_GET['order'] values are filtered only with sanitize_text_field() and then concatenated into the SQL format string before $wpdb->prepare() is called — prepare() only parameterizes the appended LIMIT/OFFSET clause and cannot retroactively secure the already-tainted ORDER BY clause. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

Impact

The Houzez Property Feed vulnerable to an authenticated SQL injection flaw that arises from insufficient escaping of the 'orderby' and 'order' query parameters in the these values are sanitized only with a basic text filter and then placed directly into an ORDER BY clause before the statement is prepared, an attacker with Administrator-level permissions can append malicious SQL and retrieve arbitrary data from the database. The weakness corresponds to CWE‑89, which can enable attackers to read or modify sensitive information.

Affected Systems

All WordPress sites that use the Houzez Property Feed plugin supplied by PropertyHive, version 2.5.46 and earlier, are affected by this vulnerability. Any installation of these plugin releases that includes the admin import or export features exposes the order and orderby parameters to potential exploitation by users with Administrator or higher privileges.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.9 places the vulnerability in the lower‑moderate severity range. The EPSS score of < 1% indicates a very low probability of exploitation at the time of analysis. The flaw requires the attacker to be an Administrator on the target site, which limits the‑in users with high privileges. Once accessed, the attacker can append malicious SQL to retrieve arbitrary data from the database, providing full read access to confidential information. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting that no widespread public exploits are known, but the presence of an authenticated SQL injection remains a serious confidentiality risk for compromised accounts.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Houzez Property Feed plugin to a version newer than 2.5.46, which includes the SQL injection fix.
  • If an update cannot be applied immediately, restrict or remove Administrator privileges for accounts that have access to the plugin's import/export and logs export pages.
  • Apply least‑privilege database credentials to the WordPress database user that the plugin uses, limiting its permissions to only the tables required for normal operation.
  • Perform a security review of other plugins for similar unsanitized input in SQL statements.
