WordPress Accessibility Suite by Ability, Inc SQL Injection Vulnerability

A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in the WordPress Accessibility Suite by Ability, Inc plugin, affecting all versions up to and including 4.20. The vulnerability arises from inadequate escaping of user-supplied data in the 'scan_id' parameter, allowing authenticated attackers with Subscriber-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 Subscriber-level access or higher can send a request to the WordPress site with the 'scan_id' parameter. The lack of proper input validation and query preparation will allow the injected SQL to be executed, potentially exposing confidential database information.

Remediation

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