wpForo Forum SQL Injection Vulnerability in WordPress

A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in the wpForo Forum plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 2.4.9. The issue arises in the Subscriptions Manager, where insufficient escaping of user-supplied parameters and inadequate preparation of the SQL query allow authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access and above to inject additional SQL queries. This exploitation could lead to unauthorized 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.

Remediation

Users are advised to update the wpForo Forum plugin to version 2.4.10 or a newer patched version.
