CVE-2024-13485
Published: 19 February 2025
Description
The LTL Freight Quotes – ABF Freight Edition plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'edit_id' and 'dropship_edit_id' parameters in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.7 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. 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.
Security Summary
CVE-2024-13485 is a SQL injection vulnerability in the LTL Freight Quotes – ABF Freight Edition plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 3.3.7. The flaw arises from insufficient escaping of user-supplied parameters 'edit_id' and 'dropship_edit_id', combined with inadequate preparation of the underlying SQL query. This allows attackers to append malicious SQL payloads to existing queries, enabling the extraction of sensitive information from the database. The vulnerability is rated with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) and is associated with CWE-89.
Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required. By manipulating the vulnerable parameters, they can inject additional SQL queries to dump sensitive data, such as user credentials, orders, or other database contents hosted by the WordPress site.
Mitigation guidance is available through referenced advisories, including a WordPress plugin trac changeset documenting the patch and Wordfence's threat intelligence page on the vulnerability. Security practitioners should update the plugin to a version beyond 3.3.7 where the SQL injection is addressed.
