Buddyboss Platform <= 1.7.8 - SQL Injection
Strategic Overview
Vulnerability Overview
The Buddyboss Platform plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the BP_Notifications_Notification::get_order_by_sql() and BP_Invitation::get_order_by_sql() functions in versions up to, and including, 1.7.8 due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for subscriber-level attackers 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 1.7.9, 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.
