Summary

The Quick Featured Images plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'delete_orphaned' function in all versions up to and including 13.7.3 due to insufficient escaping and lack of preparation on the SQL query. This allows authenticated attackers with Editor-level access and above to append additional SQL queries, provided they can convince an author-level user or higher to add a malicious custom field value.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with editor privileges can extract sensitive information from the database if they can trick a user with higher privileges into adding a malicious value. This could lead to data confidentiality breaches.

Recommendation

Immediately update the plugin to the latest version with fixes. Also consider restricting user privileges and monitoring activities related to custom fields.

Original NVD description (English source)

The Quick Featured Images plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'delete_orphaned' function in all versions up to, and including, 13.7.3 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Editor-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database, granted they can convince an author-level user or higher to add a malicious custom field value.
