The JoomSport - for Sports: Team & League, Football, Hockey & more plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via 'event' Shortcode Attribute in all versions up to, and including, 5.7.9 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. The shortcode can be embedded in posts or pages by Contributor-level users, making this exploitable by any authenticated user with at least that role.
AnalysisAI
Time-based SQL injection in the JoomSport WordPress plugin (all versions through 5.7.9) enables authenticated contributors to exfiltrate sensitive database contents via unsanitized 'event' shortcode attributes. The flaw exists in at least two code paths - joomsport-shortcodes.php and class-jsport-getplayers.php - where user-supplied shortcode parameters are interpolated into SQL queries without parameterization or adequate escaping. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid WordPress user account with at least Contributor role on the target site - this is the single most significant limiting condition. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, score 6.5) accurately captures the threat profile: network-reachable, low complexity, contributor-level authentication required, high confidentiality impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker registers a WordPress account on a site with open registration or obtains Contributor credentials through phishing, then creates or edits a post embedding the JoomSport 'event' shortcode with a crafted time-delay SQL payload in the attribute value. When the post is previewed or published and rendered by WordPress, the plugin executes the injected query; by measuring response latency across repeated requests, the attacker extracts the WordPress database contents - including wp_users password hashes - using automated tooling such as sqlmap. … |
| Remediation | A patch is available: the plugin's SVN changeset 3594276 (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?reponame=&old=3594276%40joomsport-sports-league-results-management&new=3594276%40joomsport-sports-league-results-management) reflects the upstream fix, though the exact patched release version number is not independently confirmed from the available data - administrators should update to the latest available version from the WordPress plugin repository and verify the installed version exceeds 5.7.9. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
