Taskbuilder WordPress Plugin Time-Based Blind SQL Injection Vulnerability

A time-based blind SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in the Taskbuilder WordPress plugin, specifically in the Project Management & Task Management Tool With Kanban Board version 5.0.6 and prior. The vulnerability arises from inadequate escaping of user-supplied data in the 'project_search' parameter, allowing authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access and above to inject additional SQL queries. This exploitation could lead to the unauthorized extraction of sensitive information from the database.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for time-based blind SQL injection, where an attacker can manipulate SQL queries to extract data from the database, potentially leading to the disclosure of sensitive information.

Remediation

Users are advised to update the Taskbuilder WordPress plugin to version 5.0.7 or later.
