Super Store Finder WordPress Plugin SQL Injection Vulnerability Allowing Stored Cross-Site Scripting

A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in the Super Store Finder plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 7.0. The issue arises from inadequate escaping of user-supplied data in the 'ssf_wp_user_name' parameter, coupled with a lack of proper preparation in the SQL query. This vulnerability enables unauthenticated attackers to inject additional SQL commands into existing queries, potentially leading to the storage of cross-site scripting payloads in store reviews.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for SQL injection, with the potential to execute arbitrary SQL commands. This could be used to manipulate the database, such as injecting malicious scripts that are stored and later executed in the context of the user.

Remediation

Users are advised to update the Super Store Finder WordPress plugin to version 7.1 or later.
