Advance Seat Reservation Management for WooCommerce | <=3.3 How the Exploit Works
The exploit takes advantage of insufficient escaping on the user supplied ‘profileId’ parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query within the WordPress plugin. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious SQL queries, append additional SQL queries into already existing queries, and potentially extract sensitive data from the database.
Conceptual Example Code
A hypothetical example of how this vulnerability might be exploited is as follows:
GET /?profileId=1' OR '1'='1'; -- HTTP/1.1
Host: vulnerable-website.comIn this example, the ‘profileId’ parameter is manipulated with SQL injection to always return true, effectively bypassing any intended restrictions and potentially exposing sensitive data from the database.
