How the Exploit Works
This vulnerability exists due to the way in which the Wp tabber widget handles SQL commands. Specifically, there is improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command, which can allow an attacker to manipulate SQL queries within the application, leading to unauthorized access to sensitive data or a potential system takeover. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted request with malicious SQL commands to the affected application.
Conceptual Example Code
The following is a conceptual example of how an attacker might exploit this vulnerability:
POST /wp_tabber_widget/data HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
username=admin'; DROP TABLE members;--&
password=Password123In this example, the attacker is using a classic SQL injection attack, attempting to drop the “members” table from the database. The ‘admin’; DROP TABLE members;–& is the malicious payload, which, if successful, would delete the members table, potentially causing significant damage to the application.
Mitigation
To mitigate this vulnerability, users of the affected product are advised to apply the latest vendor patch as soon as possible. In the meantime, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can be used as a temporary mitigation to detect and prevent exploitation of this vulnerability.
