CVE-2023-2599

CVSS v3.1

Medium

VectorAV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Active Directory Integration plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 4.1.4
Description The issue allows unauthenticated attackers to perform time-based SQL Injection via the orderby and order parameters due to missing nonce verification on the get users function, insufficient escaping on the user-supplied parameter, and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This can lead to resource exhaustion by appending additional SQL queries into already existing queries through a forged request, granted they can trick an administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 4.1.4, update to a version that includes nonce verification on the get users function and sufficient escaping on the user-supplied parameters to prevent SQL Injection. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the get users function until a patch is available. Avoid using the orderby and order parameters in affected API endpoints until the issue is resolved.
