CVE-2023-4776

Summary

CVE-2023-4776 is a vulnerability affecting the School Management System WordPress plugin before version 2.2.5. This issue allows relatively low-privilege users, such as Teachers, to execute SQL injection attacks. The plugin fails to properly prepare queries using WordPress's esc_sql() function, instead applying it to a field that is not quoted. Consequently, an attacker can inject malicious SQL code, leading to unauthorized data access or manipulation. Users are advised to update the plugin to prevent potential exploitation.
