No fix is confirmed yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for the fix.

The Sticky Chat Widget plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'scw_form_fields' parameter array keys of the 'scw_save_form_data' AJAX action in versions up to, and including, 1.4.2. This is due to the save_form_data() function passing attacker-controlled POST array keys unsanitized to $wpdb->insert(), which wraps column identifiers in backticks without escaping them, allowing a backtick in an attacker-supplied key to break out of the column-identifier list into raw SQL; additionally, the use of filter_input() bypasses WordPress's wp_magic_quotes() protection, and the widget_id validation loop is skipped entirely when no valid widget_id is supplied, leaving $isValid at 1. 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.

No fix is confirmed yet. Restrict network exposure of the affected system or apply the vendor's mitigation within your standard update timelines at low or medium mission impact and sooner than that at high, and watch the vendor's advisory for the fix.

Exploitation none (CISA Vulnrichment) · Automatable yes (CISA Vulnrichment) · Technical impact partial (CISA Vulnrichment). Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it: high means the affected system is essential to your organisation's mission, or its compromise could cause irreversible harm to people.
