Blog2Social <= 6.9.9 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) SQL Injection
Strategic Overview
<= 6.9.9CVE-2022-3246Vulnerability Overview
The Blog2Social plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection in versions up to, and including, 6.9.9 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter 'publish_error_code' and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level privileges or higher, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
Technical Analysis
REMEDIATION: Update to version 6.9.10, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')) The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
