35th percentile - higher than 35% of all known CVEs

Summary

The CatFolders – Tame Your WordPress Media Library by Category plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the CSV Import contents in all versions up to, and including, 2.5.2 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 Author-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with Author-level access can exploit the vulnerability to exfiltrate data from the database, including sensitive information. This may lead to confidentiality breaches and further attacks on the system.

Recommendation

Update the CatFolders plugin to a version later than 2.5.2 that contains the fix. Until then, restrict CSV import capabilities for low-privileged users.
