WordPress · Library Management System – Manage E-Digital Books Library · CVE-2024-8679
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
The Library Management System – Manage e-Digital Books Library plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.0.0
Description:
The issue is related to SQL Injection via the `value` parameter of the `owt lib handler` AJAX action. This is due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. Authenticated attackers with Administrator-level access and above can append additional SQL queries into already existing queries to extract sensitive information from the database.
Recommendations:
For versions up to, and including, 3.0.0, update to a version that includes a fix for this issue to prevent SQL Injection attacks.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `owt lib handler` AJAX action to minimize the risk of exploitation.
Avoid using the `value` parameter in the affected AJAX endpoint until the issue is resolved.
