CVE-2024-6166: Unlimited Elements For Elementor (Free Widgets, Addons, Templates) <= 1.5.112 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Time-Based SQL Injection
First published: Tue Jul 09 2024(Updated: )
The Unlimited Elements For Elementor (Free Widgets, Addons, Templates) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the ‘addons_order’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.112 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 and granted plugin setting edit permissions by an administrator, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
