The &#8216;forms-id&#8217; parameter in this function does not adequately escape user-supplied input, and the SQL query lacks sufficient preparation. This allows unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries that can extract sensitive data from the database or even modify it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"ameeb-116691308\" class=\"ameeb-content ameeb-entity-placement\"><div class=\"poptin-embedded\" data-id=\"f6b387694f681\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\n<p>Below is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited using an HTTP POST request with a malicious payload:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">POST \/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php?action=gozen_forms_embed_sc HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com\nContent-Type: application\/x-www-form-urlencoded\nforms-id=1 UNION SELECT 1,username,password FROM wp_users WHERE ID=1 --<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>In this example, the attacker sends a POST request to the vulnerable endpoint with a &#8216;forms-id&#8217; parameter containing a malicious SQL injection payload. This would result in data extraction from the WordPress users table.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mitigation Guidance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The vendor has released a patch to address this vulnerability. Users of the GoZen Forms plugin for WordPress should apply this patch immediately. As a temporary mitigation, users can also implement a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to detect and block attempts to exploit this vulnerability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview A critical vulnerability has been identified in the GoZen Forms plugin for WordPress, with a CVSS Severity Score of 7.5.
