An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-52142 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cool Plugins Events Shortcodes For The Events Calendar. 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-2023-52142/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52142/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-52142","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52142/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-52142","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qmm7-7fgh-3877"],"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":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary SQL commands via the Events Shortcodes plugin, potentially reading or modifying database contents.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"sql_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"events_shortcodes_for_the_events_calendar","vendor":"coolplugins"}],"cvss":{"score":7.6,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-89","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command"}],"description":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in Cool Plugins Events Shortcodes For The Events Calendar.This issue affects Events Shortcodes For The Events Calendar: from n/a through 2.3.1.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress Events Shortcodes \u0026 Templates For The Events Calendar Plugin \u003c= 2.3.1 is vulnerable to SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2023-52142","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"sql_injection","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress WP Stripe Checkout Plugin \u003c= 1.2.2.37 is vulnerable to Sensitive Data Exposure","id":"CVE-2023-52143"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"** REJECT ** DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2023-52141"},"products":["Events Shortcodes For The Events Calendar"],"published":"2024-01-08","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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["Cool Plugins"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary SQL commands via the Events Shortcodes plugin, potentially reading or modifying database contents.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52142/"}
