How the Exploit Works
The flaw resides in the improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command in sonalsinha21’s Recover abandoned cart for WooCommerce. It can be exploited by an attacker by injecting malicious SQL code into the application, which then gets executed in the database. This might allow the attacker to view, modify, or delete data, potentially compromising the system or leading to data leakage.
Conceptual Example Code
Here is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability could be exploited:
POST /woocommerce/recover-cart HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
cart_id=1; DROP TABLE users--In this example, the attacker sends a POST request with a malicious payload (“cart_id=1; DROP TABLE users–“). The “DROP TABLE users–” command could result in the deletion of the ‘users’ table from the database, causing a significant impact on the system.
Recommendations for Mitigation
To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to immediately apply the vendor patch. If the patch cannot be applied immediately, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can provide temporary mitigation. These systems can detect and prevent SQL Injection attacks by identifying and blocking malicious payloads. Additionally, regular security audits and code reviews can help in detecting such vulnerabilities early, reducing the potential impact on the system and the data it holds.
