Overview

AI description

Automated description summarized from trusted sources.

CVE-2024-1071 is a SQL Injection vulnerability that affects the Ultimate Member plugin for WordPress, specifically versions 2.1.3 to 2.8.2. The vulnerability stems from insufficient sanitization and escaping of the 'sorting' parameter within the plugin. This lack of proper input validation allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious SQL queries into existing queries. By exploiting this flaw, attackers can potentially extract sensitive information from the database.

Description
The Ultimate Member – User Profile, Registration, Login, Member Directory, Content Restriction & Membership Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'sorting' parameter in versions 2.1.3 to 2.8.2 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.
