Summary

The List category posts plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the 'starting_with' parameter of the catlist shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 0.91.0 due to insufficient escaping and lack of query preparation. This allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access and above to append additional SQL queries.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can extract sensitive information from the database, including user data or configuration. The vulnerability requires only basic WordPress privileges, increasing the risk.

Recommendation

Update the List category posts plugin to a version later than 0.91.0. Consider temporarily restricting publishing capabilities for Contributor-role users.

Original NVD description (English source)

The List category posts plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the ‘starting_with’ parameter of the catlist shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 0.91.0 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.
