WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
The FormLift for Infusionsoft Web Forms WordPress plugin contains an SQL Injection vulnerability (CVE-2024-38773) discovered on July 19, 2024. This vulnerability affects versions up to and including 7.5.17 of the plugin. The issue stems from insufficient escaping of the 'formid' parameter and inadequate preparation of SQL queries ([Patchstack](https://patchstack.com/database/vulnerability/formlift/wordpress-formlift-plugin-7-5-17-unauthenticated-blind-sql-injection-vulnerability?s_id=cve), WPScan).
Technical details
The vulnerability is classified as an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command (SQL Injection) with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (Critical) according to NIST, and 9.3 (Critical) according to Patchstack. The issue allows unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries to existing queries, potentially enabling the extraction of sensitive information from the database (NVD).
Impact
This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to directly interact with the database, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive information. The high CVSS score indicates that this is a critical security issue that could have severe consequences for affected installations (Patchstack).
Mitigation and workarounds
Users are strongly advised to update to version 7.5.18 or later immediately to resolve this vulnerability. Patchstack has issued a virtual patch to mitigate this issue by blocking potential attacks until users can update to a fixed version (Patchstack).
