An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-56247 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: AF themes WP Post Author. 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-2024-56247/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-56247/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-56247","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-56247/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-56247","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qq73-pjw7-j745"],"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":"An attacker can execute arbitrary SQL commands via the WP Post Author plugin, potentially reading or modifying database content.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"sql_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"wp_post_author","vendor":"afthemes"}],"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 AF themes WP Post Author wp-post-author allows SQL Injection.This issue affects WP Post Author: from n/a through \u003c= 3.8.2.","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 WP Post Author plugin \u003c= 3.8.2 - SQL Injection vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-56247","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"sql_injection","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress WPMasterToolKit plugin \u003c= 1.13.1 - Arbitrary File Download vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-56248"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Nexter Blocks plugin \u003c= 4.0.4 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-56246"},"products":["WP Post Author"],"published":"2025-01-02","related":[{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"WordPress WP Post Author plugin \u003c= 3.6.7 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-37101","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-22"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"WordPress WP Post Author plugin \u003c= 3.6.4 - Rating Value Manipulation vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-34387","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-06"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"WordPress WP Post Author plugin \u003c= 3.6.4 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-34389","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-06"}],"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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["AF themes"]},"summary":"An attacker can execute arbitrary SQL commands via the WP Post Author plugin, potentially reading or modifying database content.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-56247/"}
