WordPress · Cryptocurrency Widgets – Price Ticker & Coins List · CVE-2024-0709
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Cryptocurrency Widgets – Price Ticker & Coins List plugin for WordPress versions 2.0 through 2.6.5
**Description**
The issue is related to SQL Injection via the `coinslist` parameter due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This allows unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries, which can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
**Recommendations**
For versions 2.0 through 2.6.5, consider disabling the `coinslist` parameter until a patch is available to prevent SQL Injection attacks. Restrict access to the SQL query to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the `coinslist` parameter in the affected plugin until the issue is resolved.
