👾 Exploit Exists🟡 Public PoC

Summary

The ArtPlacer Widget WordPress plugin is prone to a SQL injection vulnerability due to inadequate sanitization and escaping of the 'id' parameter in user-submitted queries. This weakness allows attackers with editor privileges or above to manipulate SQL queries, potentially exposing sensitive database information. Furthermore, the absence of a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) check enhances the exploitability, enabling unauthorized actions through CSRF against authenticated users, significantly increasing the risk to affected WordPress installations.

Affected Version(s)

ArtPlacer Widget 0 < 2.20.7

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
