Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

Ads Pro Plugin – Multi-Purpose WordPress Advertising Manager | Up to and including 4.89<\/p>\n

How the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

The vulnerability arises from the insufficient escaping of the ‘oid’ parameter and the lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. An unauthenticated attacker can append additional SQL queries into the existing ones via this parameter. This could allow them to manipulate database transactions or extract sensitive information from the database.<\/p>\n

Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited:<\/p>\n

GET \/index.php?oid=1' OR '1'='1'; SELECT * FROM wp_users; -- HTTP\/1.1\nHost: vulnerable-website.com<\/code><\/pre>\n
In this example, the attacker appends additional SQL queries to the ‘oid’ parameter, causing the database to return all the users’ data.<\/p>\n
Mitigation<\/strong><\/p>\n
Users are strongly recommended to apply the vendor patch once it is available. As a temporary mitigation, users can implement a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS). These can help prevent attacks by detecting and blocking malicious SQL queries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
