WordPress · Track The Click · CVE-2023-5041
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
The Track The Click WordPress plugin versions prior to 0.3.12
**Description**
The issue arises from the plugin's failure to properly sanitize query parameters to the stats REST endpoint before using them in a database query. This allows a logged-in user with an author role or higher to perform time-based blind SQLi attacks on the database. Approximately 1,178 devices are potentially affected, mainly distributed in the United States and Germany.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 0.3.12, update to version 0.3.12 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the stats REST endpoint until a patch is applied. Additionally, limiting the privileges of users with an author role or higher can help minimize the risk of exploitation.
