WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
The BookingPress WordPress plugin (Appointment Booking Calendar Plugin and Scheduling Plugin) contains a SQL Injection vulnerability (CVE-2024-10540) discovered in versions up to and including 1.1.16. The vulnerability exists in the 'service' parameter of the bookingpress_form shortcode due to insufficient escaping of user-supplied parameters and inadequate SQL query preparation (NVD).
Technical details
The vulnerability is classified as a SQL Injection (CWE-89) with a CVSS v3.1 Base Score of 6.5 (Medium) and vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N. The issue stems from improper handling of the 'service' parameter in the bookingpress_form shortcode, allowing authenticated users with Subscriber-level access or higher to append additional SQL queries to existing database queries (NVD, Wordfence).
Impact
When exploited, this vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access or higher to extract sensitive information from the database by injecting additional SQL queries into existing database operations (NVD).
Mitigation and workarounds
Website administrators should update the BookingPress plugin to a version newer than 1.1.16 which contains the security fix. A patch has been released and is available through the WordPress plugin repository (WordPress).
