ShipEngine Shipping Quotes WordPress Plugin SQL Injection Vulnerability

A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in the ShipEngine Shipping Quotes plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 1.0.7. The vulnerability arises from inadequate escaping of user-supplied data in the 'edit_id' parameter, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject additional SQL queries. This exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information within the database.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for SQL injection, where an attacker can manipulate SQL queries to extract sensitive data from the database.

Reproduction

To reproduce this vulnerability, send a request to the WordPress site with the 'edit_id' parameter included. The absence of proper data sanitization allows for the injection of malicious SQL code, which could be executed by the database. This vulnerability can be exploited without authentication.

Remediation

Users are advised to update the ShipEngine Shipping Quotes WordPress plugin to version 1.0.8 or later.
