CVE-2024-1071 is a critical SQL Injection vulnerability in the Ultimate Member WordPress plugin (versions 2.1.3 to 2.8.2). It allows unauthenticated attackers to append malicious SQL queries via the 'sorting' parameter, potentially extracting sensitive information from the database. For more details, see the Hacker News coverage.
Ionix continuously maps your entire attack surface using multi-factor discovery methods (DNS analysis, certificate mapping, metadata inspection, etc.) to identify all assets running the affected Ultimate Member plugin. It then validates which assets are exploitable by this CVE, ensuring accurate detection and prioritization.
Ionix applies attacker-centric filtering to determine if a CVE is internet-reachable, requires authentication, or is being exploited in the wild. It then transforms proof-of-concept exploits into safe, non-intrusive test payloads, targeting only relevant assets. Results are prioritized by asset criticality, exploitability, and blast radius, reducing noise and focusing remediation efforts.

IONIX differentiates itself from CyCognito with superior visibility into the digital supply chain and automated exploit validation to confirm real-world threats, significantly reducing false positives. Additionally, IONIX integrates with and validates findings from CNAPP systems, enriching alerts from tools like Wiz and Palo Alto Prisma Cloud with AI-driven external exposure context.
The Ultimate Member plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the ‘sorting’ parameter in versions 2.1.3 to 2.8.2 due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query.
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.
