Description
The EventON - Subscriber plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'email' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.5 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

AI Analysis

Impact

The EventON - Subscriber plugin for WordPress contains a generic SQL Injection vulnerability that is triggered by the 'email' parameter. Unsanitized input is directly appended to an existing SQL query, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to inject additional SQL statements. This can be used to read sensitive data from the database and may also enable modification or deletion of data, resulting in a breach of confidentiality and integrity.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites that have the EventON - Subscriber plugin installed, specifically all releases up to and including version 1.4.5. The vulnerability exists in the code that constructs database queries based on the 'email' field supplied by visitors.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.5 indicates a high severity. Although no EPSS score is provided, the attack vector is unauthenticated and can be exploited remotely via the plugin’s publicly accessible parameter. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, but the lack of input sanitization makes exploitation likely on any site that hosts the affected plugin. Attackers could therefore obtain or alter database contents without authentication.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the EventON - Subscriber plugin to a version newer than 1.4.5, if an update exists. If no update is available, disable or remove the plugin until a fix is released.
  • Ensure that all user-supplied input, especially email addresses, are sanitized and passed through WPDB's prepare method before inclusion in any SQL query.
  • Deploy a web application firewall or similar monitoring to detect and block suspicious payloads that attempt to inject SQL via the email parameter.
