Published: 20 March 2023
Summary
CVE-2023-0630 is a high-severity SQL Injection (CWE-89) vulnerability in Wp-Slimstat Slimstat Analytics. Its CVSS base score is 8.8 (High).
Operationally, ranked in the top 0.4% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
Deeper analysis
The Slimstat Analytics WordPress plugin before version 4.9.3.3 is affected by an SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) with a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8. The root cause is insufficient controls that allow shortcode attributes to be concatenated directly into SQL queries when the shortcodes are rendered.
Subscribers, who have limited privileges, can exploit the flaw over the network without user interaction. Successful exploitation grants the attacker full control over confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected database and application data.
Public references published by WPScan document the issue and identify the fixed release. Site operators should upgrade the plugin to 4.9.3.3 or later to eliminate the vulnerable code path. The associated EPSS score has remained high, with a current value of 0.9024 and a recorded peak of 0.9282.
