Unauthorized SQL Injection Vulnerability in CleanTalk Security & Malware scan Plugin

CVE-2024-10570

Summary

The CleanTalk Security & Malware scan plugin for WordPress is susceptible to a SQL Injection vulnerability stemming from an authorization bypass through reverse DNS spoofing in the checkWithoutToken function. This issue affects all versions up to and including 2.145 and arises from inadequate input sanitization and validation practices. Consequently, unauthenticated attackers can maliciously append SQL queries to existing commands, potentially leading to unauthorized access and extraction of sensitive information from the database.
