Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in NSquared Simply Schedule Appointments simply-schedule-appointments allows Blind SQL Injection.This issue affects Simply Schedule Appointments: from n/a through <= 1.6.9.27.
AnalysisAI
Blind SQL injection in NSquared Simply Schedule Appointments WordPress plugin versions ≤1.6.9.27 allows authenticated attackers with low-privilege access to extract sensitive database contents and potentially trigger denial-of-service conditions. The vulnerability stems from improper neutralization of SQL special elements in user-controlled input. Network-accessible exploitation requires valid credentials but no user interaction. CVSS 8.5 severity reflects high confidentiality impact with scope change, enabling cross-boundary data access. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; low observed exploitation activity (EPSS 0.02%, 6th percentile).
Technical ContextAI
CWE-89 blind SQL injection enabling boolean-based or time-based inference attacks against database queries. CVSS vector PR:L indicates authenticated context; scope change (S:C) suggests attacker can access resources beyond plugin's authorization boundary. Affected CPE: cpe:2.3:a:nsquared:simply_schedule_appointments, confirming WordPress plugin vulnerability in appointment scheduling functionality where SQL queries improperly handle attacker-supplied parameters.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Upstream fix available per Patchstack advisory; released patched version not independently confirmed. Until patched version is released: (1) audit WordPress user permissions to restrict low-privilege authenticated access where feasible, (2) implement Web Application Firewall rules blocking SQL injection patterns in plugin parameters, (3) monitor database query logs for anomalous time-delay patterns indicative of blind SQLi exploitation. Consider temporarily deactivating Simply Schedule Appointments if appointment scheduling functionality is non-critical to operations.
