Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2011-5308 is a SQL injection issue in the WordPress cdnvote plugin before version 0.4.2. A remote attacker could send crafted input through voting-related parameters and make the site database run unintended SQL. For an affected legacy WordPress site, this can threaten stored content, user data, and site integrity. Exposure is most likely limited to WordPress sites that installed the cdnvote plugin before 0.4.2 and still retain vulnerable code. The provided affected-product metadata is incomplete, so confirm by plugin presence and version rather than relying on CPE inventory alone. Prioritize remediation for internet-facing WordPress sites using cdnvote, especially if they store customer, account, or business data. Because this is an old plugin issue with incomplete modern metadata, the main business task is finding legacy exposure quickly and removing unsupported risk. Mitigation focus: Identify WordPress sites with the cdnvote plugin installed.; Upgrade cdnvote to at least 0.4.2 if available.; Remove the plugin if it is unused or unsupported..
