Description
The MotoPress Appointment Booking plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 's' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.5 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 custom-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. Exploitation requires the mpa_appointment_employee custom role, meaning any user assigned this role can perform the attack.

AI Analysis

Impact

The MotoPress Appointment Booking plugin for WordPress contains a generic SQL Injection flaw in the 's' parameter used by the admin booking page. Unsanitized user input is directly concatenated into an existing SQL query, allowing an attacker to append additional statements. An authenticated user possessing the custom "mpa_appointment_employee" role can exploit this weakness to read or modify data stored in the underlying database, thereby compromising database confidentiality and integrity. The impact is limited to the database contents of the affected WordPress installation and does not provide broader system compromise without additional misconfigurations.

Affected Systems

All installations of MotoPress Appointment Booking version 2.4.5 or earlier, running on WordPress, are vulnerable. The flaw is triggered through the admin interface whenever a user with the "mpa_appointment_employee" role or higher accesses the bookings page. Versions 2.4.6 and newer have the exploitation vector removed.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 6.5, the vulnerability is considered moderate severity. The EPSS score is not available and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, indicating limited publicly known exploitation attempts at this time. Attackers would need to log into the WordPress admin area and possess the appropriate staff role to craft malicious requests that exploit the 's' parameter. The vulnerability primarily allows information disclosure and data manipulation within the database and could be used to facilitate further attacks depending on the application’s role permissions and database access controls.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade MotoPress Appointment Booking to version 2.4.6 or newer to eliminate the SQL Injection vector.
  • If an upgrade is delayed, remove or downgrade the "mpa_appointment_employee" role for users who do not require booking management access.
  • Restrict direct access to the admin page that handles the 's' parameter, for example by using a web application firewall to block SQL injection patterns or by limiting the page to a narrow set of trusted IP addresses.
