DescriptionCVE.org

The Sticky Chat Widget plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'scw_form_fields' parameter array keys of the 'scw_save_form_data' AJAX action in versions up to, and including, 1.4.2. This is due to the save_form_data() function passing attacker-controlled POST array keys unsanitized to $wpdb->insert(), which wraps column identifiers in backticks without escaping them, allowing a backtick in an attacker-supplied key to break out of the column-identifier list into raw SQL; additionally, the use of filter_input() bypasses WordPress's wp_magic_quotes() protection, and the widget_id validation loop is skipped entirely when no valid widget_id is supplied, leaving $isValid at 1. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers 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 Sticky Chat Widget WordPress plugin (versions ≤1.4.2) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to extract sensitive data from the underlying WordPress database via the scw_save_form_data AJAX action. Three compounding weaknesses enable exploitation: $wpdb->insert() wraps column identifiers in unescaped backticks, PHP's filter_input() retrieves raw POST data bypassing WordPress's wp_magic_quotes() sanitization, and a widget_id validation loop that is never executed when no valid widget_id is supplied leaves the $isValid flag at its initialized true value. …
