Deeper analysis
The LTL Freight Quotes – TForce Edition plugin for WordPress is affected by a SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in all versions through 3.6.4. The flaw stems from insufficient escaping of the user-supplied dropship_edit_id and edit_id parameters combined with the absence of prepared statements in existing database queries, allowing arbitrary SQL to be appended.
Unauthenticated attackers can exploit the issue over the network by sending crafted requests that cause the plugin to execute additional queries, enabling extraction of sensitive information from the WordPress database. The vulnerability carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5 reflecting high confidentiality impact with no authentication or user interaction required.
Public references point to a Wordfence threat intelligence entry and a WordPress plugin trac changeset that document the issue and the availability of updated code. The EPSS score rose from a starting value of 0.1872 to a peak of 0.2434, indicating growing exploitation interest after disclosure.
