Summary

The Invisible Anti-Spam & CAPTCHA plugin for WordPress up to version 5.1 is vulnerable to SQL injection via JSON keys/values patterns. Insufficient escaping and lack of query preparation allow authenticated attackers with editor-level access to append additional SQL queries, potentially extracting sensitive information.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with editor privileges can access database data, including user data and passwords.

Recommendation

Update the Invisible Anti-Spam & CAPTCHA plugin to the latest patched version. Restrict editor-level access to trusted users only.

Original NVD description (English source)

The Invisible Anti-Spam & CAPTCHA — reCAPTCHA Alternative for All Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via Pattern JSON Keys/Values in all versions up to, and including, 5.1 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.
