An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2022-4297 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown WP AutoComplete Search. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-4297/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-4297/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-4297","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-4297/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-4297","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xcgc-gw57-wr9f"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can inject SQL commands via an AJAX parameter in the WP AutoComplete Search plugin, potentially reading or modifying database content.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"sql_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"wp_autocomplete_search","vendor":"netflixtech"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"The WP AutoComplete Search WordPress plugin through 1.0.4 does not sanitise and escape a parameter before using it in a SQL statement via an AJAX available to unauthenticated users, leading to an unauthenticated SQL injection","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2023-07-03","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2023-07-03","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"51560","stars":null,"title":"WP AutoComplete 1.0.4 - Unauthenticated SQLi"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WP AutoComplete Search \u003c= 1.0.4 - Unauthenticated SQLi","id":"CVE-2022-4297","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"sql_injection","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Wholesale Market \u003c 2.2.1 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Download","id":"CVE-2022-4298"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"TP-Link TL-WR740N ARP resource consumption","id":"CVE-2022-4296"},"products":["WP AutoComplete Search"],"published":"2023-01-02","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-11","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can inject SQL commands via an AJAX parameter in the WP AutoComplete Search plugin, potentially reading or modifying database content.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-4297/"}
