What is CVE-2024-8484?
A vulnerability exists in the REST API TO MiniProgram plugin for WordPress, affecting versions up to and including 4.7.1. This vulnerability is attributed to insufficient escaping of user-supplied input in the 'order' parameter of the /wp-json/watch-life-net/v1/comment/getcomments REST API endpoint. As a consequence, unauthenticated attackers can inject additional SQL queries into the existing database queries, potentially leading to unauthorized access and extraction of sensitive data from the database.
Affected Version(s)
REST API TO MiniProgram 0 <= 4.7.1
