SQL Injection in WordPress Project Manager Plugin

High

Synopsis

A researcher at Tenable discovered an authenticated SQL Injection (SQLi) vulnerability in the Project Manager WordPress plugin.

 

The SQLi exists because of a lack of validation of the parameter 'orderby used in the '/pm/v2/activities' route which is accessible with authentication.

 

Proof Of Concept:

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

http://WORDPRESS/?rest_route=/pm/v2/activities&orderby=id/**/AND/**/(SELECT/**/1/**/FROM/**/(SELECT(SLEEP(5)))a)

Solution

Remove Project Manager
