Source record

Technical description

The AI Chatbot & Workflow Automation by AIWU plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection in versions up to, and including, 1.4.17 due to insufficient escaping on user supplied parameters and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query in the getListForTbl() function. 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. NOTE: This issue is partially mitigated by a patch in version 1.4.11 that adds a nonce check for a nonce that is only available to administrators.
