Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
WatuPRO plugin versions prior to 5.5.3.7
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands. This is achieved by exploiting the
watupro questions parameter in a watupro submit action to the "/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php" API endpoint.Recommendations
For versions prior to 5.5.3.7, update to version 5.5.3.7 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php" API endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the
watupro questions parameter in the affected API endpoint until the issue is resolved.Exploitability
