Descriptions

The NEX-Forms WordPress plugin before 7.9.7 does not properly sanitise and escape user input before using it in SQL statements, leading to SQL injections. The attack can be executed by anyone who is permitted to view the forms statistics chart, by default administrators, however can be configured otherwise via the plugin settings.

El plugin NEX-Forms de WordPress versiones anteriores a 7.9.7 no sanea y escapa apropiadamente de la entrada del usuario antes de usarla en las sentencias SQL, conllevando a inyecciones SQL. El ataque puede ser ejecutado por cualquier persona que tenga permiso para visualizar la tabla de estadísticas de formularios, por defecto los administradores, sin embargo puede ser configurado de otra manera por medio de los ajustes del plugin

The NEX-Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the ‘form_id’ parameter in versions up to, and including, 7.9.6 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 administrator-level privileges to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

WordPress NEX-Forms plugin versions prior to 7.9.7 suffer from a remote authenticated SQL injection vulnerability.
