CVE-2024-31077Network attack vector

Admin database read and write via order_by injection

Published Apr 23, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

SQL injection in WPMU DEV Forminator before 1.29.3 allows remote authenticated users with administrative privileges to read or alter database data. The Forminator_Form_Entry_Model::get_filter_entries path insufficiently escapes the order_by value and places it into an inadequately prepared SQL query. Administrator-level access is required; injected queries can disclose or modify database contents and cause a service interruption.
