Deeper analysis
The vulnerability is an SQL injection flaw, tracked as CVE-2022-0788 and assigned CWE-89, that affects the WP Fundraising Donation and Crowdfunding Platform WordPress plugin prior to version 1.5.0. The plugin fails to sanitize and escape a parameter before incorporating it into a SQL statement through one of its REST routes, producing a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8.
Unauthenticated attackers can exploit the issue over the network without any user interaction or credentials. Successful exploitation grants full read, write, and delete access to the database, enabling arbitrary data exfiltration, modification, or deletion that can fully compromise the affected WordPress site.
The referenced WPScan advisory identifies the affected plugin versions and links the issue to the missing input handling in the REST endpoint; operators are therefore advised to upgrade to version 1.5.0 or later. The associated EPSS score has remained flat at its peak value of 0.4811 since disclosure, indicating no material increase in observed exploitation interest.
