Description

WordPress Booking Calendar Contact Form 1.0.23 contains an unauthenticated blind SQL injection vulnerability in the shortcode function that fails to sanitize the calendar parameter before using it in database queries. Attackers can inject SQL commands through the calendar shortcode parameter to execute arbitrary SQL queries and extract sensitive database information.

• CWE-89Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
