CVE-2022-1768: RSVPMaker <= 9.3.2 - Unauthenticated SQL Injection
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 34/100)
- A ready-made attack module is public (Nuclei); exploiting it takes no special expertise.
- Public proof-of-concept code exists (Exploit-DB / GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 12.8% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 96.2% of all records.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
- According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.
- Severity is disputed: the assigning authority (CNA) scores it 9.8, NVD 7.5.
- Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).
Low priority for now. Update when a fix is released; follow the vendor's advisory.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
The RSVPMaker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthenticated SQL Injection due to insufficient escaping and parameterization on user supplied data passed to multiple SQL queries in the ~/rsvpmaker-email.php file. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to steal sensitive information from the database in versions up to, and including, 9.3.2. Please note that this is separate from CVE-2022-1453 & CVE-2022-1505.
