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.
