id: notificationx-sqli

info:
  name: NotificationX < 2.3.12 - SQL Injection
  author: theamanrawat
  severity: high
  description: |
    The plugin does not validate and escape the id parameter in its notificationx/v1/notification REST endpoint before using it in a SQL statement, which could allow unauthenticated attackers to perform SQL Injection attacks.
  remediation: Fixed in version 2.3.12
