WordPress · Sip Reviews Shortcode · CVE-2024-6479
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
SIP Reviews Shortcode for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.2.3
**Description**
The issue is related to SQL Injection via the `no of reviews` attribute in the "woocommerce reviews" shortcode. This occurs due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query, making it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries. This can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
**Recommendations**
For versions up to, and including, 1.2.3, update to a version that fixes the SQL Injection issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `woocommerce reviews` shortcode to minimize the risk of exploitation.
Avoid using the `no of reviews` attribute in the affected shortcode until the issue is resolved.
