Deeper analysis

The CP Image Store with Slideshow WordPress plugin before version 1.0.68 contains an SQL injection vulnerability tracked as CVE-2022-1692. The flaw stems from missing sanitization and escaping of the ordering_by query parameter, which is directly incorporated into SQL statements on any page embedding the [codepeople-image-store] shortcode. This corresponds to CWE-89 and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8.

Unauthenticated attackers can supply malicious values for the ordering_by parameter in HTTP requests to affected pages, enabling them to execute arbitrary SQL commands against the underlying database. Successful exploitation can result in full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the WordPress site and its data.

Public advisories from WPScan and IESE note that the issue is resolved by updating to version 1.0.68 or later, which adds proper input handling for the affected parameter. The EPSS score has remained at a steady 0.7388 since disclosure with no material upward trajectory observed.
