Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
This is a high-severity SQL injection issue in the WordPress Lodgix.com Vacation Rental Website Builder plugin through version 3.9.73. An attacker with low-level site access could potentially read sensitive database data and cause limited availability impact. The supplied sources do not show active exploitation or name a confirmed fixed version.
Executive priority
Prioritize this for WordPress environments using Lodgix, especially revenue-generating booking sites. The main concern is possible database exposure from an authenticated attacker. If the plugin is not present, no action is needed beyond documenting non-exposure.
Technical view
CVE-2024-50539 is CWE-89 SQL injection in lodgixcom-vacation-rental-listing-management-booking-plugin through 3.9.73. CVSS 3.1 is 8.5: network exploitable, low complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, changed scope, high confidentiality impact, no integrity impact, low availability impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to WordPress sites running the Lodgix.com Vacation Rental Website Builder plugin at version 3.9.73 or earlier. Business risk is highest where the site stores booking, guest, owner, or payment-adjacent operational data in WordPress databases.
Exploitation context
The supplied bundle says the issue requires low privileges, so anonymous exploitation is not established here. It is not listed as KEV, and the provided sources do not state active exploitation. Treat public-facing WordPress sites with self-registration or many low-privilege accounts as higher risk.
Researcher notes
Evidence is sufficient for vulnerability classification and version scope, but sparse on root cause, vulnerable parameters, exploit maturity, and fixed version. Avoid assuming unauthenticated reachability or active exploitation. Validate exposure through plugin inventory and vendor advisory tracking, not exploit reproduction.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for the Lodgix plugin and installed version.
- Check Lodgix and Patchstack guidance for a fixed release or vendor mitigation.
- Update the plugin if a fixed version is available from the vendor.
- Disable or remove the plugin where it is not business-critical.
- Restrict low-privilege account creation and review existing WordPress users.
- Increase monitoring for database errors and suspicious plugin-related requests.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether each WordPress site runs plugin version 3.9.73 or earlier.
- Review WordPress user roles for unnecessary low-privilege accounts.
- Check web and application logs for unusual Lodgix plugin request patterns.
- Review database logs for abnormal query errors or unexpected access.
- Document affected sites, owners, mitigation status, and residual risk.
