CVE-2024-4742: Youzify – BuddyPress Community, User Profile, Social Network & Membership Plugin for WordPress <= 1.2.5 - Authenticated (Contributor+) SQL Injection
First published: Thu Jun 20 2024(Updated: )
The Youzify – BuddyPress Community, User Profile, Social Network & Membership Plugin for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the order_by shortcode attribute in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.5 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
