WPSwings WooCommerce Ultimate Gift Card | n/a – 2.8.10
How the Exploit Works
The exploit works by an attacker injecting malicious SQL statements into the application, which are then executed by the database. This occurs due to improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands within the WooCommerce Ultimate Gift Card plugin. If the malicious SQL is executed, it can potentially manipulate or leak data, or even grant unauthorized access to the attacker.
Conceptual Example Code
A conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited could look like the following HTTP request:
POST /checkout HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
card_number=1234567890' OR '1'='1'; DROP TABLE customers; --In this example, the attacker tries to inject a malicious SQL command (‘OR ‘1’=’1′; DROP TABLE customers; –‘) into the ‘card_number’ parameter. If the application is vulnerable, the entire ‘customers’ table would be deleted from the database.
Mitigation
The vendor has released a patch to fix this SQL Injection vulnerability. All users of the affected WooCommerce Ultimate Gift Card versions should apply this patch immediately. As a temporary mitigation, users can also use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to detect and block SQL Injection attacks. However, it is still strongly recommended to apply the vendor patch as soon as possible to fully secure the system.
