Summary

The PrettyLinks plugin for WordPress up to version 3.6.20 is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 's' parameter on the Pretty Links listing page. This is due to insufficient escaping and lack of query preparation in the `search_links_table()` function. Authenticated attackers with Administrator-level access or higher can append additional SQL queries to extract sensitive information from the database.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with administrative access can extract sensitive data from the WordPress database, including passwords, API keys, and customer data, potentially leading to full site compromise and data breach.

Recommendation

Immediately update the PrettyLinks plugin to the latest available version that addresses this vulnerability. Additionally, restrict admin panel access to trusted users and regularly audit user permissions.

Original NVD description (English source)

The PrettyLinks – Affiliate Links, Link Branding, Link Tracking, Marketing and Stripe Payments Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 's' (search) parameter on the Pretty Links listing page in all versions up to, and including, 3.6.20. This is due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query in the `search_links_table()` function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
