Deeper analysis
CVE-2024-13475 is a SQL injection vulnerability in the Small Package Quotes – UPS Edition plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 4.5.16. The flaw arises from insufficient escaping of the user-supplied 'edit_id' parameter and lack of sufficient preparation in the existing SQL query, allowing attackers to append additional SQL queries. It has 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 is associated with CWE-89.
Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability remotely with low complexity and no user interaction required. By manipulating the 'edit_id' parameter, they can inject SQL payloads into existing queries, enabling extraction of sensitive information from the database, such as user credentials or other confidential data stored in WordPress sites using the plugin.
Advisories from Wordfence detail the vulnerability and its impact, while a changeset in the WordPress plugin Trac repository (changeset 3237693) indicates the patch applied to address the issue in subsequent versions. Security practitioners should update the plugin beyond version 4.5.16 and review database access logs for signs of exploitation.
