LTL Freight Quotes – Purolator Edition SQL Injection Vulnerability

A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in the LTL Freight Quotes – Purolator Edition plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 2.2.3. The vulnerability arises from inadequate escaping of user-supplied data in the 'dropship_edit_id' and 'edit_id' parameters, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject additional SQL queries. This exploitation could lead to the extraction of sensitive information from the database.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for SQL injection, where an attacker can manipulate SQL queries to access or modify database information. In this case, it could be used to extract sensitive data from the database.

Reproduction

To reproduce this vulnerability, send a request to the WordPress site with the 'dropship_edit_id' or 'edit_id' parameters. The lack of proper data sanitization will allow the injection of malicious SQL code, which can be executed by the database. This can be done using a tool like SQLMap or manually through the WordPress admin interface, depending on the specific use case.

Remediation

Users are advised to update the LTL Freight Quotes – Purolator Edition plugin to version 2.2.4 or later.
