Summary

The WordPress Car Park Booking plugin from October 13, 2017 contains a time-based SQL injection vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to manipulate database queries by injecting SQL code through the space_id parameter. Attackers can send GET requests to the booking-page endpoint with malicious space_id values using AND SLEEP() payloads to extract sensitive database information.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves unauthorized access to the WordPress database, potentially leading to data breaches of user information, passwords, and other confidential data, as well as full site compromise.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Car Park Booking plugin to the latest version or remove it entirely if no patch is available. Additionally, consider deploying a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to block malicious SQL queries.
