WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

The Responsive Filterable Portfolio plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'id' parameter in versions up to and including 1.0.8. This vulnerability was disclosed on December 12, 2024. The affected software is a WordPress plugin that allows users to manage and display portfolios of videos, images, and links (NVD).

Technical details

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied 'id' parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query.

Impact

The vulnerability makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive information from the database through SQL injection attacks. This could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data stored in the WordPress database (NVD).

Mitigation and workarounds

Users should upgrade to version 1.0.9 or later of the Responsive Filterable Portfolio plugin, which includes security improvements and fixes for this vulnerability (WordPress Plugin).
