What is CVE-2024-10856?

CVE-2024-10856 is a medium-severity SQL injection vulnerability in wpdevart Booking calendar, Appointment Booking System, published on 24 Dec 2024. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

Official description

The Booking Calendar WpDevArt plugin is vulnerable to time-based, blind SQL injection via the `id` parameter in the “wpdevart_booking_calendar” shortcode in versions up to, and including, 3.2.19 due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. The vulnerability requires the “delete_prev_date” theme option being enabled. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access or above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing query that can be used to extract sensitive information such as passwords from the database.

Weakness: CWE-89
