highseverity

10CVSS score

3.3%likelihood of exploitation, next 30 days

89%of all CVEs are less likely

Readycheck to confirm it

The Opti Marketing plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.9 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.

Impact

Unauthenticated attackers can exploit SQL injection to extract, modify, or delete sensitive database information, potentially compromising the entire WordPress installation and all stored data.

Fix

Update Opti Marketing plugin to a version later than 2.0.9 to address the SQL injection vulnerability.
