CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe Location Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection through the 'latitude' and 'longitude' parameters in its REST API, allowing unauthenticated attackers to manipulate SQL queries and potentially extract sensitive database information. This vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 2.3.38 and can be exploited via multiple publicly accessible endpoints. WordPress site administrators using this plugin should prioritize immediate updates to mitigate the risk of data exposure.
Original NVD Description
The Location Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via 'latitude' and 'longitude' REST API Parameters in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.38 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. The injection is triggered when the orderby=lat_lon parameter is supplied, and affects multiple publicly accessible REST endpoints including geodir/v2/locations/cities, /regions, /countries, and /neighbourhoods via both the get_locations() and get_neighbourhoods() functions.
