Overview

CVE-2023-2599 is a low-severity vulnerability. It was published on June 9, 2023 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 3.1 (LOW).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 3.1, rated LOW. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

The Active Directory Integration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery leading to time-based SQL Injection via the orderby and order parameters in versions up to, and including, 4.1.4 due to missing nonce verification on the get_users function and insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to cause resource exhaustion via a forged request granted they can trick an administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
