Form Builder CP WordPress Plugin SQL Injection Vulnerability

A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in the Form Builder CP plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 1.2.41. The issue arises from inadequate escaping of user-supplied data in the 'id' parameter of the 'CP_EASY_FORM_WILL_APPEAR_HERE' shortcode. This flaw allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access or higher to inject additional SQL queries into existing ones, potentially leading 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 extract sensitive data from the database.

Reproduction

To reproduce this vulnerability, an authenticated user with Contributor-level access or higher can use the 'CP_EASY_FORM_WILL_APPEAR_HERE' shortcode, specifying an 'id' parameter. The lack of proper input sanitization allows for the injection of malicious SQL code, which is then executed by the database.

Remediation

Users are advised to update the Form Builder CP plugin to version 1.2.42 or later.
