LTL Freight Quotes for Customers of FedEx Freight SQL Injection Vulnerability

A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in the LTL Freight Quotes – For Customers of FedEx Freight plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 3.4.1. The vulnerability arises from inadequate escaping of user-supplied parameters in the 'edit_id' and 'dropship_edit_id' fields, 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

The vulnerability can be reproduced by sending a request to the WordPress site with the 'edit_id' or 'dropship_edit_id' parameters. These parameters can be crafted to include malicious SQL code that exploits the vulnerability by injecting additional SQL commands into the database query. This can be done using tools like Postman or through a custom script that targets the vulnerable WordPress site.

Remediation

Users are advised to update the plugin to version 3.4.2 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
