Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
The Houzez Property Feed plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'orderby' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.5.46 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query in the prepare_items() method of the Houzez_Property_Feed_Admin_Logs_Export_Table (and Houzez_Property_Feed_Admin_Logs_Import_Table) class. The user-controlled $_GET['orderby'] and $_GET['order'] values are filtered only with sanitize_text_field() and then concatenated into the SQL format string before $wpdb->prepare() is called - prepare() only parameterizes the appended LIMIT/OFFSET clause and cannot retroactively secure the already-tainted ORDER BY clause. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
AnalysisAI
SQL injection in the Houzez Property Feed WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 2.5.46) permits authenticated administrators to exfiltrate arbitrary data from the underlying WordPress database by manipulating the orderby GET parameter on admin log pages. The root cause is a $wpdb->prepare() misuse pattern: user-supplied $_GET['orderby'] and $_GET['order'] values are filtered only with sanitize_text_field() - which does not neutralize SQL metacharacters - then concatenated directly into the SQL format string before prepare() is invoked, meaning prepare() only parameterizes the trailing LIMIT/OFFSET clause and cannot retroactively secure the already-tainted ORDER BY clause. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation strictly requires an authenticated WordPress session with Administrator-level privileges or higher (e.g., Super Admin on a WordPress multisite installation). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.9 (Medium) accurately reflects the limited real-world risk: while the attack vector is network-based (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction (UI:N), the high privilege requirement (PR:H - WordPress Administrator) is the dominant risk-limiting factor. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker holding a compromised or legitimately obtained WordPress Administrator account navigates to the Houzez Property Feed admin import or export log page and appends a crafted ORDER BY injection payload to the `orderby` GET parameter - for example, a UNION-SELECT statement or a time-based blind injection - to enumerate database tables and extract sensitive records such as WordPress user password hashes, email addresses, or stored API credentials. No public POC exists at time of analysis, but ORDER BY injection is a well-understood technique requiring no specialized tooling beyond a browser or curl, and the injection point is directly described in the CVE. |
| Remediation | The primary remediation is to update the Houzez Property Feed plugin to a version beyond 2.5.46. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
