Deeper analysis
The WP Sessions Time Monitoring Full Automatic WordPress plugin before version 1.0.9 contains an SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) because it fails to sanitize incoming request URLs and query parameters before incorporating them into database queries. The flaw affects any site running the plugin and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5, reflecting network-exploitable impact limited to confidentiality.
Unauthenticated remote attackers can leverage blind time-based SQL injection techniques, and in some configurations error-based or union-based methods, to extract arbitrary data from the WordPress database without requiring credentials or user interaction.
