Descriptions

The Elementor Website Builder WordPress plugin before 3.12.2 does not properly sanitize and escape the Replace URL parameter in the Tools module before using it in a SQL statement, leading to a SQL injection exploitable by users with the Administrator role.

The Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to blind SQL Injection via the 'replace_urls' functionality in versions up to, and including, 3.12.1 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied 'old' and 'new' parameters and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with administrator-level permissions to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

Elementor Website Builder versions prior to 3.12.2 suffer from a remote SQL injection vulnerability.
