CVE-2024-13594

CVSS v3.1

6.5

Medium

VectorAV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Simple Downloads List plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.4.2
Description The issue concerns a SQL injection vulnerability via the category attribute of the neofix sdl shortcode. This vulnerability is due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. Authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access and above can append additional SQL queries to existing ones, potentially extracting sensitive information from the database.
Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.4.2, update to a version higher than 1.4.2 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the neofix sdl shortcode to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the category attribute in the neofix sdl shortcode until the issue is resolved.
