The Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar - Amelia plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the sort parameter in the payments listing endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.2. This is due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied sort parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query in PaymentRepository.php, where the sort field is interpolated directly into an ORDER BY clause without sanitization or whitelist validation. PDO prepared statements do not protect ORDER BY column names. GET requests also skip Amelia's nonce validation entirely. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Manager-level (wpamelia-manager) access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database via time-based blind SQL injection.
AnalysisAI
SQL injection in Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar - Amelia WordPress plugin (versions up to 2.1.2) allows authenticated Manager-level users to extract sensitive database information via the sort parameter in the payments listing endpoint. The vulnerability exists because the sort field is interpolated directly into an ORDER BY clause without sanitization, bypassing PDO prepared statement protections which do not cover column names. GET requests also bypass Amelia's nonce validation, enabling time-based blind SQL injection attacks by authenticated users with Manager access or higher.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in PaymentRepository.php where user-supplied input from the sort GET parameter is concatenated directly into an SQL ORDER BY clause without sanitization or whitelist validation. While the plugin uses PDO prepared statements for parameter binding, prepared statements do not protect ORDER BY identifiers-only data values. CWE-89 (SQL Injection) occurs when dynamically constructed SQL allows attackers to alter query logic. The affected endpoint is the payments listing handler (GetPaymentsCommandHandler.php), which processes GET requests that skip Amelia's nonce-based CSRF protections. This combination of insufficient input validation on ORDER BY expressions and authentication-only access control creates an exploitable SQL injection point for users with Manager-level WordPress capabilities.
RemediationAI
Update the Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar - Amelia plugin to version 2.1.3 or later, which includes a fix for the SQL injection vulnerability. The fix was implemented in the repository changeset at https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3488955/ameliabooking/trunk/src/Infrastructure/Repository/Payment/PaymentRepository.php. To remediate, navigate to WordPress admin dashboard, go to Plugins, find Amelia, and click Update if available. If automatic updates are not enabled, download version 2.1.3 or newer from https://wordpress.org/plugins/ameliabooking/ and upload manually. As a temporary workaround pending updates, restrict Manager-level WordPress role assignments to trusted administrators only, and monitor access logs for suspicious GET requests to the payments endpoint with unusual sort parameter values.
