Deeper analysis
The LTL Freight Quotes – R+L Carriers Edition plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL injection in all versions through 3.3.4. The flaw exists in the handling of the edit_id and dropship_edit_id parameters, which are not properly escaped or used in prepared statements, allowing an attacker to modify existing database queries.
Unauthenticated attackers can exploit the issue over the network to append arbitrary SQL and extract sensitive information from the WordPress database. The vulnerability carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5 with network attack vector, low complexity, and no required authentication or user interaction.
The referenced WordPress plugin changeset and Wordfence advisory indicate that the issue is resolved by updating to a patched version that applies proper escaping and prepared-statement handling for the affected parameters. No other specific mitigation steps are described in the provided references.
