Event Manager and Tickets Selling for WooCommerce < 3.5.8 - SQL Injection
Strategic Overview
< 3.5.8CVE-2022-0478Vulnerability Overview
The Event Manager and Tickets Selling for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 3.5.8 does not validate and escape the post_author_gutenberg parameter before using it in a SQL statement when creating/editing events, which could allow users with a role as low as contributor to perform SQL Injection attacks
Technical Analysis
REMEDIATION: Update to version 3.5.8, 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.
