Summary

The WP Visitor Statistics (Real Time Traffic) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'fullRef' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 8.7 due to insufficient escaping and lack of preparation on the SQL query. This allows unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries to existing ones, potentially extracting sensitive information from the database. This is a second-order SQL injection: an attacker submits a crafted referrer URL to the wmcTrack endpoint, which persists the raw value, and the injection triggers when an administrator views the Traffic Sources dashboard.

Risk Assessment

Organizations may lose confidentiality of database data, including user data, passwords, or other sensitive information. Attackers may also modify or delete data, potentially compromising system integrity.

Recommendation

Update the WP Visitor Statistics plugin to a patched version if available. As a temporary measure, restrict access to the admin dashboard and monitor logs for suspicious referrers.

Original NVD description (English source)

The WP Visitor Statistics (Real Time Traffic) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'fullRef' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 8.7 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. 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. This is a second-order SQL injection: an unauthenticated attacker submits a crafted referrer URL to the wmcTrack tracking endpoint, which persists the raw unescaped value into the wp_logVisit table, and the injection is triggered when an administrator next views the Traffic Sources dashboard.
