Description
The Eventer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the ‘code’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.4.2 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 Eventer plugin for WordPress, versions up to 4.4.2, is vulnerable to a time-based SQL injection through the 'code' parameter. Because the plugin fails to escape the user-supplied value and does not use prepared statements, an attacker can append arbitrary SQL to permit unauthenticated attackers to read or manipulate data stored in the WordPress database – a classic SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89).

Affected Systems

WordPress sites that have the Eventer plugin by joe007 installed at version 4.4.2 or earlier are affected. The plugin is used for event management within WordPress environments.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 7.5, indicating high severity. The EPSS score is less than 1%, implying a low likelihood of exploitation at present. It is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack vector requires no user authentication and can be carried out through the public web interface. An attacker who can reach the site can send a crafted request to the vulnerable endpoint and extract sensitive data, making confidentiality a significant risk.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Check with the plugin vendor to see if a fix or updated version has been released that addresses the SQL injection vulnerability.
  • If no fix is available, restrict public access to the Eventer plugin or the specific endpoint that accepts the 'code' parameter by disabling the plugin or applying web‑application firewall rules.
  • Monitor WordPress database logs for suspicious SQL activity that might indicate exploitation attempts, and perform regular backups of the database.
