CVE-2024-8484
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 REST API TO MiniProgram plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'order' parameter of the /wp-json/watch-life-net/v1/comment/getcomments REST API endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 4.7.1 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 REST API TO MiniProgram WordPress plugin versions up to 4.7.1 contain an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the /wp-json/watch-life-net/v1/comment/getcomments endpoint. The 'order' parameter is not properly escaped before being incorporated into a SQL query, and the existing query lacks prepared statements, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands to extract sensitive database information.

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.
-
Identify the installed plugin versionLocate the plugin in /wp-content/plugins/ (commonly under a folder named 'rest-api-to-miniprogram' or similar), then check the main plugin PHP file or readme.txt for the Version headerAffected if The installed version is 4.7.1 or lower (any version up to and including 4.7.1)
-
Verify the vulnerable REST endpoint existsSend a GET request to /wp-json/watch-life-net/v1/comment/getcomments (no authentication required) and confirm the endpoint responds with JSONAffected if The endpoint is accessible and responds, indicating the plugin is active with the vulnerable code present
-
Confirm the 'order' parameter is processed by the endpointSend a request to the endpoint with a test 'order' parameter (e.g., ?order=asc) and observe if it influences the SQL query behaviorAffected if The 'order' parameter is accepted and reflected in the query without proper escaping or prepared statement usage
You are affected if the Jianbo Rest Api To Miniprogram plugin is installed at version 4.7.1 or below AND the /wp-json/watch-life-net/v1/comment/getcomments endpoint is accessible and accepts the 'order' parameter without SQL parameterization.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 · scopedUpdate the plugin to version 4.7.2 or later which contains the security fix. Alternatively, implement proper SQL parameterization/prepared statements for the 'order' parameter in the vulnerable endpoint code.
Upgrade to the latest version available in the WordPress plugin repository (version 4.7.2 or later)
- Navigate to the WordPress admin dashboard
- Go to Plugins > Installed Plugins
- Locate the 'REST API TO MiniProgram' plugin
- Check the current installed version to confirm it is <= 4.7.1
- Update the plugin to the latest available version from the WordPress plugin repository
