Survey Maker < 3.1.2 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) SQL Injection
Strategic Overview
<= 3.1.1CVE-2023-23490Vulnerability Overview
The Survey Maker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL injection in versions before 3.1.2 via the 'ays_surveys_export_json' AJAX action. This allows authenticated attackers, including those with subscriber-level privileges, 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 3.1.2, 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.
