Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions GamiPress – Gamification plugin to reward points, achievements, badges & ranks in WordPress versions up to, and including, 7.2.1

Description The issue is related to time-based SQL Injection via the orderby parameter due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 7.2.1, consider disabling the orderby parameter until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. Restrict access to sensitive database information to minimize the risk of data extraction. Avoid using the orderby parameter in existing queries until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
