| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
The Library Management System – Manage e-Digital Books Library plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.0.0
Description:
The issue is related to SQL Injection via the
value parameter of the owt lib handler AJAX action. This is due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. Authenticated attackers with Administrator-level access and above can append additional SQL queries into already existing queries to extract sensitive information from the database.Recommendations:
For versions up to, and including, 3.0.0, update to a version that includes a fix for this issue to prevent SQL Injection attacks.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the
owt lib handler AJAX action to minimize the risk of exploitation.
Avoid using the value parameter in the affected AJAX endpoint until the issue is resolved.Fix
SQL injection
