CVE-2024-43978Known exploitationNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated database disclosure via SQL injection

Published Sep 17, 2024 · Updated May 11, 2026

SQL injection in Highwarden Super Store Finder for WordPress before 6.9.8 allows remote attackers to read database data. The public disclosure does not identify the affected parameter or database query, but the vendor changelog links the fix to input sanitization on admin store, admin listing, and request-add-store pages. No authentication or user interaction is required; exploitation exposes database contents and can interrupt service without modifying records.
