Deeper analysis
CVE-2024-13489 is a SQL injection vulnerability in the LTL Freight Quotes – Old Dominion Edition plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 4.2.10. The issue stems from insufficient escaping of the user-supplied 'edit_id' and 'dropship_edit_id' parameters combined with a lack of sufficient preparation in the existing SQL queries, allowing injection of malicious SQL code.
Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability remotely with low complexity, as indicated by the CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N). Successful exploitation enables attackers to append additional SQL queries to existing ones, facilitating the extraction of sensitive information from the database without impacting integrity or availability.
Advisories from Wordfence and a WordPress plugin trac changeset provide details on the vulnerability and mitigation. Security practitioners should review these resources, including the patch at changeset 3242160, and update affected installations to remediate the flaw.
