Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 30.6th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).
Deeper analysis
CVE-2024-13476 is a SQL injection vulnerability in the LTL Freight Quotes – GlobalTranz Edition plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 2.3.11. The flaw exists in the 'engtz_wd_save_dropship' AJAX endpoint, where user-supplied parameters are not sufficiently escaped and the existing SQL query lacks proper preparation. This allows attackers to append malicious SQL queries to legitimate ones, enabling the extraction of sensitive information from the database. The vulnerability 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, requiring no privileges or user interaction. By sending crafted requests to the vulnerable AJAX endpoint, they can inject additional SQL queries into ongoing database operations, potentially dumping sensitive data such as user credentials, orders, or other site information stored in the WordPress database.
Mitigation is addressed in the plugin's patch via WordPress Trac changeset 3242457, which security practitioners should apply by updating to a version beyond 2.3.11. Additional details are available in the Wordfence threat intelligence advisory.
