What the vulnerability does
01Description
The FileBird – WordPress Media Library Folders & File Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'search' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 6.4.8 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
02Summary
FileBird versions up to 6.4.8 contain a SQL injection vulnerability in the media library folder management functionality. An authenticated attacker with low privileges can craft malicious input to execute arbitrary SQL queries against the WordPress database. This allows reading sensitive data without modifying or deleting it. Site administrators should update to a version newer than 6.4.8 immediately.
