What is CVE-2024-8624?

The MDTF – Meta Data and Taxonomies Filter plugin for WordPress has a vulnerability that allows for SQL Injection through the 'meta_key' attribute of the 'mdf_select_title' shortcode. This vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.3.3.3. Due to inadequate escaping of user-provided parameters and a flawed SQL query construction process, authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access or higher can inject additional SQL queries into existing ones. This exploit can potentially lead to unauthorized access and extraction of sensitive information from the WordPress database.

Affected Version(s)

MDTF – Meta Data and Taxonomies Filter * <= 1.3.3.3
