Deeper analysis
CVE-2024-13534 is a SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in the Small Package Quotes – Worldwide Express Edition plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 5.2.18. The issue stems from insufficient escaping of the user-supplied 'edit_id' and 'dropship_edit_id' parameters combined with inadequate preparation of existing SQL queries, allowing injection of malicious SQL payloads.
Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network with low attack complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation enables appending additional SQL queries to existing ones, resulting in the extraction of sensitive information from the database. 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) highlights the high confidentiality impact.
Advisories point to mitigation via a patch in WordPress plugin repository changeset 3241919, with additional threat intelligence available from Wordfence. WordPress site administrators should update the plugin beyond version 5.2.18 to address the issue. CVE-2025-27268 is noted as a likely duplicate.
