Description
The Mail Mint – Email Marketing, Newsletter, Email Automation & WooCommerce Emails plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'status' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.31.0 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. The $wpdb->prepare() call does not protect against this injection because the attacker-controlled $contact_filter_query fragment is concatenated into the SQL format string before prepare() executes — prepare() only processes %s/%d placeholders and cannot sanitize content already embedded in the format string. REST API JSON bodies are parsed from php://input and bypass WordPress's wp_magic_quotes(), meaning double-quote characters in status array values reach the SQL sink unescaped. 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. The required 'mint_read_contacts' capability is a plugin-specific capability not assigned to any default WordPress role; it must be explicitly granted by an administrator, making this effectively an Administrator+ vulnerability.

Impact

The Mail Mint – Email Marketing, Newsletter, Email Automation & WooCommerce Emails plugin allows authenticated attackers with administrator-level access to inject arbitrary SQL fragments through the 'status' parameter. The vulnerability arises because the parameter is concatenated into an existing SQL query before the call to $wpdb->prepare(), which cannot sanitize content already embedded in the format string. The REST API accepts JSON payloads parsed from php://input, bypassing WordPress wp_magic_quotes(), allowing double‑quote characters in the status array to reach the database unescaped. The attacker can append additional SQL statements to read sensitive data from the database, which is protected by the plugin‑specific 'mint_read_contacts' capability; this capability must be explicitly granted by an administrator, making the flaw effectively an Administrator+ vulnerability.

Affected Systems

GetWPFunnels' Mail Mint plug‑in for WordPress is affected in all releases up to and including version 1.31.0. Any instance running 1.31.0 or an earlier version is vulnerable to the SQL injection described above.

Risk and Exploitability

The flaw receives a CVSS score of 4.9, indicating moderate severity. No EPSS score is available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is a logged‑in attacker who can exercise the REST API endpoints exposed by the plug‑in; the attacker must possess administrator privileges or any role granted the 'mint_read_contacts' capability to exploit this flaw. At the time of analysis, no public exploits have been confirmed, but the nature of the injection allows for data exfiltration and could be leveraged for further attacks if combined with other weaknesses.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Mail Mint to the latest available version (greater than 1.31.0) where the 'status' parameter is properly bound in prepared statements.
  • If a newer version is not available, locate and remove or disable the mail‑mint plugin from the WordPress installation to eliminate the vulnerable code paths.
  • Restrict the 'mint_read_contacts' capability by re‑assigning it only to trusted administrative users and auditing role permissions to ensure no unprivileged users possess it.
