CVE-2024-13344
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe Advance Seat Reservation Management for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'profileId' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.3 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.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe Advance Seat Reservation Management for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'profileId' parameter in versions up to 3.3. The plugin fails to properly escape user-supplied input and lacks prepared statements, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary SQL queries and extract sensitive data from the database.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check installed plugin versionIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and find 'Advance Seat Reservation Management for WooCommerce' (or 'Smartcmsmarket Advance Seat Reservation Management For Woocommerce'). The version number is displayed below the plugin name.Affected if The version listed is 3.3 or lower (any version before 3.4 is affected)
-
Identify plugin files via filesystemAccess the WordPress plugins directory (wp-content/plugins/) and locate the folder for the seat reservation plugin. Check the main plugin file (usually named main.php, index.php, or similar) for the version comment/header.Affected if The version comment in the plugin header shows a version before 3.4
-
Verify the vulnerable profileId parameter existsSearch the plugin source code for occurrences of 'profileId' - this is the vulnerable parameter. Look for files handling this parameter in AJAX handlers or frontend submission code.Affected if The plugin code contains handling of 'profileId' parameter without proper escaping or prepared statements
-
Check for SQL injection indicators in access logsReview web server access logs (Apache/Nginx) for requests to the plugin's endpoints that contain 'profileId' parameter with suspicious SQL characters (quotes, UNION, SELECT, etc.). Logs are typically in /var/log/apache2/ or /var/log/nginx/.Affected if Requests containing SQL injection payloads in the profileId parameter are found in logs
The environment is affected if the plugin version is 3.3 or lower AND the plugin is active, since the unauthenticated profileId parameter vulnerability requires no authentication to exploit.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped3.4
Update the plugin to version 3.4 or later. If no patch is available, remove the plugin or implement WAF rules to block SQL injection attempts on the profileId parameter until a fix is released.
Version 3.4
- Update the Advance Seat Reservation Management for WooCommerce plugin to version 3.4 or later via the WordPress plugin repository or WordPress admin dashboard
- Verify the update was successfully applied by checking the plugin version number
- Confirm the 'profileId' parameter is now properly handled with prepared statements or sufficient escaping
