How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability exploits the improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command within Ruben Garcia AutomatorWP. This allows an attacker to perform a Blind SQL Injection attack. The attacker can manipulate SQL queries in the application’s database by inputting malicious SQL statements into user input fields.
Conceptual Example Code
Below is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited:
POST /login HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
username=admin' OR '1'='1';--&password=irrelevantIn this example, the attacker uses a classic SQL injection payload to trick the login system into returning a true statement, granting them access.
Mitigation Guidance
Users of affected versions are advised to apply the vendor patch as soon as possible to mitigate the risk. If the patch cannot be applied immediately, users should consider using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) as temporary mitigation. Regularly updating and patching software, as well as implementing secure coding practices, can help prevent this type of vulnerability.
