Description
The WP Review Slider Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'stypes' and 'slocations' parameters of the wppro_get_overall_chart_data AJAX action in versions up to, and including, 12.6.8. This is due to the use of stripslashes() on user-supplied JSON strings prior to json_decode(), which removes the escaping applied by WordPress's wp_magic_quotes; the resulting decoded array values are then concatenated directly into SQL WHERE clauses without parameterization, and the constructed query is executed via $wpdb->get_results() without $wpdb->prepare(). 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. The handler also returns the executed SQL string in its JSON response, which simplifies oracle construction for blind exploitation.

AI Analysis

Impact

The WP Review Slider Pro plugin contains an SQL Injection flaw in the 'stypes' and 'slocations' parameters of the wppro_get_overall_chart_data AJAX action. The code removes JSON escaping through stripslashes() before decoding, then inserts unvalidated data directly into SQL WHERE clauses. This allows an authenticated user with Subscriber privilege or higher to inject additional SQL statements and extract sensitive database content. The handler also echoes the constructed SQL in its JSON response, simplifying blind exploitation and increasing the risk of data leakage.

Affected Systems

WP Review Slider Pro for WordPress, all releases up to and including version 12.6.8 are affected. No other vendors or products are listed.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 8.8, indicating high severity, but the EPSS score is below 1%, meaning exploit attempts are currently rare. It is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The attack vector is inferred to be an authenticated AJAX request, requiring at least Subscriber‑level access. While the high CVSS reflects significant confidentiality risk, the low EPSS suggests limited real‑world exploitation at this time.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade WP Review Slider Pro to the latest release (12.6.9 or newer) to eliminate the injection flaw.
  • If an update is not immediately possible, disable the wppro_get_overall_chart_data AJAX endpoint or remove the plugin from the live site until the patch is applied.
  • Restrict Subscriber‑level accounts or temporarily lower their privileges until the vulnerability is remediated to prevent exploitation.
