Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in Ruben Garcia ShortLinks Pro allows SQL Injection. This issue affects ShortLinks Pro: from n/a through 1.0.7.
AnalysisAI
SQL injection vulnerability in Ruben Garcia ShortLinks Pro versions up to 1.0.7 that allows authenticated attackers with high privileges to execute arbitrary SQL commands. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 7.6 (High) and affects the ShortLinks Pro WordPress plugin; while the attack requires elevated privileges, successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized data access and limited system availability impacts. No active exploitation in the wild or public POC has been widely reported at this time, though the SQL injection class (CWE-89) remains a critical attack vector.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability stems from improper neutralization of special SQL metacharacters in user-supplied input, a classic SQL injection flaw (CWE-89). ShortLinks Pro, a WordPress plugin for URL shortening, fails to properly sanitize or parameterize SQL queries when processing user input. The affected product is identified by CPE: vendor=ruben-garcia, product=shortlinks-pro, versions=1.0.0 through 1.0.7. The root cause is the lack of prepared statements or parameterized queries, allowing attackers to break out of intended SQL syntax and inject malicious SQL commands. This is a direct application of CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command), one of the OWASP Top 10 and CWE Top 25 most dangerous weakness classes.
