Vulnerability Overview

The WCFM – Frontend Manager for WooCommerce along with Bookings Subscription Listings Compatible WordPress plugin before 6.5.12, when used in combination with another WCFM - WooCommerce Multivendor plugin such as WCFM - WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace, does not escape the withdrawal_vendor parameter before using it in a SQL statement, allowing low privilege users such as Subscribers to perform SQL injection attacks

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 6.5.12, 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.
