Deeper analysis
CVE-2024-13533 is a SQL injection vulnerability in the Small Package Quotes – USPS Edition plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 1.3.5. The flaw arises from insufficient escaping of the user-supplied 'edit_id' parameter and lack of sufficient preparation in the existing SQL query, allowing attackers to append additional SQL queries.
Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability remotely with low complexity, requiring no user interaction and no privileges. Successful exploitation enables extraction of sensitive information from the database, as reflected in 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) and associated CWE-89.
Advisories and references, including Wordfence threat intelligence and WordPress plugin trac details, point to a patch applied in changeset 3242060, with the vulnerable code visible at line 77 in shipping-rules-save.php. Security practitioners should update the plugin to the fixed version to mitigate the issue.
