WPSchoolPress SQL Injection Vulnerability in WordPress Plugin

A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in the WPSchoolPress WordPress plugin, specifically in the School Management System version 2.2.16 and earlier. The issue arises from inadequate escaping of user-supplied data in the 'cid' parameter, allowing authenticated attackers with Custom-level access or higher 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, an authenticated user with Custom-level access or higher can send a request to the 'wpsp-exams.php' page with a crafted 'cid' parameter. The injected SQL code can then be executed to retrieve sensitive information from the database.

Remediation

No known patch is available for this vulnerability. Users are advised to review the vulnerability details and consider uninstalling the affected plugin.
