Impact
The vulnerability is a classic SQL Injection flaw caused by improper neutralization of special elements in an SQL command. An attacker can exploit this weakness to perform Blind SQL Injection, allowing the execution of arbitrary SQL queries against the WordPress database. This could lead to unauthorized data disclosure, credential theft, or modification of the database contents, all of which compromise data confidentiality and integrity.
Affected Systems
The flaw exists in the WordPress plugin Duplicate Page and Post developed by Arjun Thakur. All releases from the initial version up to and including 2.9.5 are affected. Any WordPress site that runs one of these versions of the plugin is vulnerable.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 8.5 indicates a high severity of risk. EPSS data is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Based on the description, the likely attack vector involves an attacker supplying crafted input through the plugin’s duplication interface or related URL parameters, which the plugin then incorporates into an SQL statement without proper encoding.
