Deeper analysis
CVE-2024-13473 is a SQL injection vulnerability in the LTL Freight Quotes – Worldwide Express Edition plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 5.0.20. The issue stems from insufficient escaping of the user-supplied 'dropship_edit_id' and 'edit_id' parameters combined with a lack of sufficient preparation in the existing SQL query, specifically in the file warehouse-dropship/wild/includes/wwe-ltl-wild-delivery-save.php.
Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network with low attack complexity and no user interaction required. By appending additional SQL queries to existing ones, they can extract sensitive information from the database, earning a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) and mapping to CWE-89.
Advisories from Wordfence and WordPress plugin trac references point to the vulnerable code at lines 264 and 387 in wwe-ltl-wild-delivery-save.php, along with changeset 3215844, which likely implements the fix. Mitigation involves updating the plugin to a version beyond 5.0.20.
