What is CVE-2024-13496?
The GamiPress plugin, designed for gamification in WordPress to manage points and achievements, contains a vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to exploit time-based SQL Injection via the 'orderby' parameter. This issue arises from improper escaping of user-supplied inputs and inadequate preparation of SQL queries, enabling attackers to inject additional SQL commands into existing queries. If exploited, this could allow unauthorized users to extract sensitive information stored in the database, posing a significant risk to WordPress site security.
