CVE-2024-13490
Published: 12 February 2025
Description
The LTL Freight Quotes – XPO 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, 4.3.7 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-2024-13490 is a SQL injection vulnerability in the LTL Freight Quotes – XPO Edition plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 4.3.7. The flaw arises from insufficient escaping of user-supplied parameters 'edit_id' and 'dropship_edit_id', combined with inadequate preparation of existing SQL queries, allowing attackers to append malicious SQL payloads.
