Low risk40th percentile - higher than 40% of all known CVEs
Summary
The WP Ticket plugin for WordPress up to version 6.0.4 is vulnerable to SQL injection via the `s` search parameter. An unauthenticated attacker can append malicious SQL queries to existing ones, potentially extracting sensitive database information.
Risk Assessment
The risk involves unauthorized extraction of confidential data, such as user credentials or personal information, without authentication. This could lead to full database compromise.
Recommendation
Immediately update the WP Ticket plugin to the latest patched version. If no update is available, temporarily disable the plugin until a fix is released.
Original NVD description (English source)
The WP Ticket plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the WordPress search query parameter (`s`) in versions up to, and including, 6.0.4 The plugin hooks WordPress's `posts_request` filter with `wp_ticket_com_posts_request()`, which calls `emd_author_search_results()` when the current request is an unauthenticated front-end search. That function reads `$query->query_vars['s']` — already wp_unslash()'d by `WP_Query::parse_query()`, so wp_magic_quotes protection has been stripped — and concatenates the raw value into a SQL `LIKE` clause inside a UNION sub-SELECT appended to the main query, with no `$wpdb->prepare()` or escaping. 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.
