Events Made Easy <= 2.2.35 - Subscriber+ SQL Injection
Strategic Overview
<= 2.2.35CVE-2021-25030Vulnerability Overview
The Events Made Easy WordPress plugin before 2.2.36 does not sanitise and escape the search_text parameter before using it in a SQL statement via the eme_searchmail AJAX action, available to any authenticated users. As a result, users with a role as low as subscriber can call it and perform SQL injection attacks
Technical Analysis
REMEDIATION: Update to version 2.2.36, 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.
