Technical details
The Groundhogg plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to a generic SQL Injection via the 'select' parameter in versions up to and including 4.5.8. This issue stems from insufficient escaping of user-supplied input and a lack of proper SQL query preparation in components such as base-object-api.php and query.php. An authenticated attacker with 'custom-level' access or higher—specifically requiring the 'view_contacts' capability—can append malicious SQL queries to existing ones. This allows for the unauthorized extraction of sensitive data from the database. A patch has been released in subsequent versions to address the improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands (CWE-89).
