How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability arises from inadequate sanitization of user-supplied data in SQL queries within the License Manager for WooCommerce plugin. Attackers could manipulate SQL queries by inserting malicious SQL code into user input fields, leading to a Blind SQL Injection. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to view, modify, or delete data in the backend database.
Conceptual Example Code
POST /license_manager/endpoint HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{ "license_key": "valid_key'; DROP TABLE users; --" }In this conceptual example, the attacker uses a valid license key followed by a SQL command (‘DROP TABLE users’) to manipulate the database. The ‘–‘ at the end is a SQL comment, effectively making the rest of the original query ignored, thus executing the attacker’s command.
Please note that this is a conceptual example and may not directly apply to the actual vulnerability. This example is provided for understanding the nature of SQL Injection attacks and is not a guide for exploitation.
Mitigation Guidance
Users are recommended to apply the vendor patch as soon as it becomes available. In the meantime, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can be used as temporary mitigation. These systems should be configured to detect and block SQL Injection attempts. Regularly back up your data and ensure your systems are updated to the latest security standards.
