CVE-2023-30194 is a critical-severity SQL Injection (CWE-89) vulnerability in Prestashop Poststaticfooter. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 2% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

Prestashop posstaticfooter module versions 1.0.0 and earlier contain a SQL injection vulnerability in the posstaticfooter::getPosCurrentHook() method, tracked as CVE-2023-30194 with a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8 and mapped to CWE-89. The flaw affects the Prestashop e-commerce platform when this module is installed and enabled.

An unauthenticated remote attacker can supply crafted input over the network to trigger the injection, resulting in full read, write, and delete access to the underlying database and potential takeover of the Prestashop instance. No user interaction or credentials are required for exploitation.

The EPSS score for this CVE reached a peak of 0.7652 on 2026-03-09 before receding to the current value of 0.6673, indicating a material rise in exploitation interest well after the May 2023 disclosure. Public advisories are available from Friends-of-Presta and the module author Posthemes on ThemeForest.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly target injection flaws during coding and review so largely prevent CWE-89 introduction, yet the single broad outcome leaves residual risk from incomplete neutralization techniques or missed edge cases.

PR.AT-02 partial match
prevents

Training raises developer awareness of SQLi risks and can reduce introduction likelihood (partial) but removes none of the actual coding flaw's risk by itself since technical neutralization is still required.

finds

The same secure-coding and static-analysis activities surface missing neutralization of SQL metacharacters before the system is accepted.

prevents

Early warnings and shared best-practice information help organizations apply the latest remediation techniques against SQL-injection vulnerabilities.

prevents

Threat-intelligence feeds that surface new SQL-injection campaigns enable rapid updates to query-construction defenses and detection signatures before exploitation occurs.

prevents

Secure-coding rules and security testing phases mandate the use of parameterized queries or equivalent escaping, preventing the construction of dynamic SQL statements from untrusted input.

prevents

Language-specific secure coding rules, peer review and SAST together prevent the construction of SQL statements from untrusted data without proper parameterization or escaping.
