CVE detail
CVE-2024-13844
The Post SMTP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the ‘columns’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.2 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

SQL Injection (SQLi), a vulnerability almost as old as database-driven web applications themselves (CWE-89), persists as a classic example of failing to neutralize user-supplied input before it’s used in a SQL query. So why does this well-understood vulnerability type continue to exist? In the WordPress space, the WordPress core development team has made a number of database functions available via its API. These functions abstract away all the common use-cases for database queries and intend to do so in a way that prevents SQL injection vulnerabilities from being introduced by the developer.
