Deeper analysis
The LTL Freight Quotes – ABF Freight Edition plugin for WordPress is affected by a SQL injection vulnerability in all versions through 3.3.7. The flaw resides in the edit_id and dropship_edit_id parameters, which are not properly escaped before being used in existing SQL queries, allowing an attacker to alter query logic.
Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit the issue over the network to append additional SQL statements and retrieve sensitive information from the database. The vulnerability carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 with a vector indicating no required authentication or user interaction and high impact to confidentiality.
The referenced WordPress plugin changeset and Wordfence threat intelligence entry document the availability of a fix that updates the affected code paths to use proper escaping and prepared statements.
The associated EPSS score rose from a low baseline to a peak of 0.1513 (current value 0.1143), indicating measurable post-disclosure exploitation interest that warrants renewed attention from defenders.
