Technical details

The WordPress Form Maker plugin (v1.12.24 and below) is vulnerable to SQL injection via the 'admin-ajax.php' endpoint. The vulnerability exists within the 'FormMakerSQLMapping' and 'generete_csv' actions, specifically through the 'name' and 'search_labels' POST parameters. An authenticated attacker with access to plugin settings can inject malicious SQL code to bypass query logic. This can be exploited to extract sensitive data from the WordPress database, modify records, or achieve privilege escalation. A patch has been released by the vendor in versions following 1.12.24.
