Description
The WP Project Manager Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection in all versions up to, and including, 4.0.1 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 Subscriber-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

AI Analysis

Impact

The WP Project Manager Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection in all versions up to and including 4.0.1. The vulnerability stems from insufficient escaping of user‑supplied parameters and a lack of prepared statements. As a result, authenticated users with Subscriber level or higher can append additional SQL statements to existing queries, enabling the extraction of sensitive data from the database. While the primary impact is data exfiltration, the injection can also lead to modification or deletion of database records if an attacker supplies malicious update statements.

Affected Systems

All releases of WP Project Manager Pro published by WeDevs up to version 4.0.1 are affected. Any WordPress site that has the plugin installed and has not upgraded to a later version is at risk. Users should verify the installed plugin version and apply the appropriate update.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 indicates a moderate severity vulnerability. The lack of a publicly available EPSS score leaves the exploitation probability uncertain, but the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires an authenticated account with at least Subscriber privileges, so a credential compromise or an existing legitimate user credential can be used to construct the SQL injection. Once sufficient privileges are achieved, the attacker can read or alter sensitive database contents, potentially compromising user data and site integrity.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade WP Project Manager Pro to version 4.0.2 or newer where the SQL injection vulnerability is fixed.
  • Limit Subscriber and higher level account permissions to the minimal access required for normal operations, and consider removing or disabling unused subscriber accounts.
  • Configure a web application firewall or use rate‑limiting rules to detect and block suspicious SQL query patterns as a temporary control until the plugin is updated.
