How the Exploit Works
The exploit takes advantage of the “Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command” in the plugin. An attacker can manipulate the SQL query by injecting malicious data into the system. This technique, known as “Blind SQL Injection,” allows the attacker to control the database query and can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information or even control over the entire system.
Conceptual Example Code
Below is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited. This could be a crafted HTTP POST request, which injects a malicious SQL command.
POST /vulnerable/endpoint HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{ "discount_rule": "'; DROP TABLE users; --" }This example illustrates a classic SQL Injection attack, where the attacker attempts to delete the “users” table from the database. However, the actual payload would be tailored to the specific SQL dialect and database schema in use.
Mitigation Guidance
For mitigation, it is recommended to apply the vendor patch as soon as it becomes available. Until then, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) could serve as a temporary mitigation measure. These systems can help detect and block SQL Injection attempts, reducing the risk of exploitation. Regularly updating and patching software is also essential in maintaining a secure system.
