A critical SQL Injection vulnerability (CVE-2024-3495) has been identified in the Country State City Dropdown CF7 plugin for WordPress. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious SQL queries, potentially leading to unauthorized access and data exfiltration.

The SQL Injection vulnerability in Country State City Dropdown CF7 allows attackers to manipulate database queries directly. Successful exploitation could enable attackers to extract sensitive information such as user credentials, customer data, or other confidential information stored within the WordPress database. Depending on the database schema and permissions, an attacker might even be able to modify or delete data, leading to significant operational disruption and data loss. This vulnerability is particularly concerning given the plugin's popularity and the potential for widespread compromise across WordPress sites.
CVE-2024-3495 was publicly disclosed on May 22, 2024. While no active exploitation campaigns have been definitively confirmed, the vulnerability's critical severity and ease of exploitation make it a high-priority target. Public proof-of-concept exploits are likely to emerge, increasing the risk of widespread attacks. This vulnerability is not currently listed on the CISA KEV catalog.
WordPress websites utilizing the Country State City Dropdown CF7 plugin, particularly those running versions 2.7.2 or earlier, are at significant risk. Shared hosting environments where multiple websites share the same database are especially vulnerable, as a compromise of one site could potentially impact others. Sites with sensitive user data or financial information are at the highest risk.
