CVE-2024-3922 Overview
The Dokan Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the code parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.10.3 due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This vulnerability enables unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries, potentially extracting sensitive information from the database.
Critical Impact

Technical Details for CVE-2024-3922
Vulnerability Analysis
The vulnerability arises from insufficient input validation and escaping of user data in SQL queries within the Dokan Pro plugin, creating opportunities for SQL injection attacks. Unauthenticated attackers can leverage this vulnerability to influence SQL query execution in the application, gaining access to sensitive data.
Root Cause
The core issue lies in inadequate sanitization of user inputs, particularly in the code parameter, which is directly embedded within SQL statements without proper preparation or escaping.
Attack Vector
This vulnerability can be exploited remotely by sending crafted HTTP requests over the network, targeting the vulnerable SQL interface of the plugin.
-- Example exploitation code (sanitized)
SELECT * FROM users WHERE code = '' OR '1'='1';
Detection Methods for CVE-2024-3922
Indicators of Compromise
- Unusual SQL query patterns in logs
- Access anomalies in user accounts
- Unexpected database responses
Detection Strategies
Implement SQL query monitoring to detect anomalies and unusual patterns. Look for irregular query structures or unexpected conditional statements being executed.
Monitoring Recommendations
Utilize network traffic analysis to identify unusual requests targeting the code parameter. Employ database activity monitoring solutions to capture unexpected query execution.
How to Mitigate CVE-2024-3922
