| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
The Awesome Support – WordPress HelpDesk & Support Plugin plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 6.1.7
Description
The issue is related to a union-based SQL Injection vulnerability via the
q parameter of the wpas get users action. This vulnerability is caused by insufficient escaping on the user-supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. As a result, authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access and above can append additional SQL queries into already existing queries, potentially extracting sensitive information from the database.Recommendations
For versions up to, and including, 6.1.7, update to a version higher than 6.1.7 to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the
wpas get users action to minimize the risk of exploitation.
Avoid using the q parameter in the affected action until the issue is resolved.Fix
