ProjectList WordPress Plugin SQL Injection Vulnerability

A time-based SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in the ProjectList plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 0.3.0. The vulnerability arises from inadequate escaping of user-supplied data in the 'id' parameter, allowing authenticated attackers with Editor-level access or higher 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 authenticated 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 Editor-level access or higher can send a request to the WordPress site with the 'id' parameter. The lack of proper input sanitization allows for the injection of malicious SQL that could be executed by the database, potentially leading to unauthorized data access.

Remediation

No known patch is available for this vulnerability. It is recommended to uninstall the affected plugin and find a suitable replacement.
