DescriptionCVE.org

The GEO my WP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'swlatlng' and 'nelatlng' parameters in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.5 The parameters are read from $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] via parse_str() (bypassing WordPress's wp_magic_quotes protection, which only covers $_POST/$_GET/$_COOKIE/$_REQUEST), then each is split on ',' via explode() and the resulting fragments are interpolated directly into a SQL BETWEEN clause in gmw_get_locations_within_boundaries_sql() without is_numeric() validation, (float) casting, esc_sql(), or $wpdb->prepare(). 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. Exploitation requires the site to host the Posts Locator search-results shortcode ([gmw form="results" form_id=N]) on a public page and to have at least one published post with an associated gmw_location row.

AnalysisAI

SQL injection in the GEO my WP WordPress plugin (versions ≤4.5.5) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to append arbitrary SQL via the 'swlatlng' and 'nelatlng' query-string parameters, enabling extraction of sensitive database contents. The flaw stems from reading parameters directly from $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] with parse_str(), bypassing WordPress's wp_magic_quotes sanitization. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not currently listed in CISA KEV, but exploitation requires only a public page hosting the Posts Locator results shortcode.

Technical ContextAI

GEO my WP is a geolocation/proximity-search plugin for WordPress published by 'ninjew' (CPE cpe:2.3:a:ninjew:geo_my_wp). The root cause is CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command). Specifically, gmw_get_locations_within_boundaries_sql() builds a SQL BETWEEN clause from latitude/longitude bounding-box parameters obtained by parsing the raw $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] via PHP's parse_str(). Because WordPress's wp_magic_quotes only sanitizes the $_POST, $_GET, $_COOKIE, and $_REQUEST superglobals, values pulled from $_SERVER bypass that protection. The 'swlatlng' and 'nelatlng' strings are split on commas with explode() and interpolated directly into the SQL string with no is_numeric() check, no (float) cast, no esc_sql(), and no $wpdb->prepare() parameterization, so an attacker can break out of the numeric context.

RemediationAI

Upgrade GEO my WP to version 4.5.5.1 or later, which contains the upstream fix shipped in WordPress.org plugin changeset 3552886 (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3552886/geo-my-wp/trunk/includes/gmw-functions.php); this is the vendor-released patch. Until the update can be applied, operators can remove or unpublish any page containing the Posts Locator results shortcode [gmw form="results" form_id=N] to eliminate the entry point, accepting the trade-off of losing geo search-results functionality for site visitors. As an additional compensating control, a WAF rule blocking requests whose query string contains 'swlatlng' or 'nelatlng' values that are not strictly two comma-separated floats can be deployed, but this may interfere with legitimate map searches and should be tested.
