id: CVE-2023-50839

info:
  name: JS Help Desk <= 2.8.1 - SQL Injection
  author: Shivam Kamboj,s4e-io
  severity: critical
  description: |
    The JS Help Desk – Best Help Desk & Support Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'email' and 'trackingid' parameters in all versions up to 2.8.2 (exclusive) due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
  impact: |
    Attackers can execute arbitrary SQL commands, potentially leading to data theft, data tampering, or database compromise.
  remediation: |
    Update to the latest version of JS Help Desk, version 2.8.2 or later.
