Shipping Rate By Cities WordPress Plugin SQL Injection Vulnerability

A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in the Shipping Rate By Cities plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 2.0.0. The vulnerability arises from inadequate escaping of user-supplied data in the 'city' parameter, 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 attackers 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

To reproduce this vulnerability, send a request to a WordPress site with the Shipping Rate By Cities plugin installed, using a crafted 'city' parameter that includes malicious SQL code. The lack of proper input sanitization will allow the injected SQL to be executed, potentially leading to unauthorized data access.

Remediation

No known patch is available for this vulnerability. It is recommended to review the vulnerability details and consider uninstalling the affected plugin.
