Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

This report details the CVE-2024-12612 vulnerability, a significant risk to users of the School Management System for WordPress plugin. This vulnerability opens the door to unauthorized SQL injection attacks, potentially compromising data integrity and security. As such, it is crucial for affected parties to understand the threat and implement the necessary countermeasures.<\/p>\n

Vulnerability Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE ID: CVE-2024-12612
\nSeverity: High (CVSS score 7.5)
\nAttack Vector: Network
\nPrivileges Required: None
\nUser Interaction: None
\nImpact: System compromise, potential data leakage<\/p>\n

Affected Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

School Management System for WordPress Plugin | Up to and including 93.2.0<\/p>\n

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

The vulnerability arises due to the plugin’s insufficient escaping on user-supplied parameters and lack of adequate preparation on existing SQL queries. This allows unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into pre-existing ones, exploiting the weakness to extract sensitive information from the database.<\/p>\n

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

Below is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability could be exploited:<\/p>\n

POST \/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php?action=smgt_add_subject HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com\nContent-Type: application\/x-www-form-urlencoded\nsubject_name=\"test\"; subject_code=\"test123\" UNION ALL SELECT CONCAT(user_login,':',user_pass) FROM wp_users--<\/code><\/pre>\n
In this example, a malicious SQL command is injected into the ‘subject_name’ parameter, which gets executed as part of the original SQL query. The ‘UNION ALL SELECT’ statement allows the attacker to combine the results of the original query with details from the WordPress users’ table, potentially exposing sensitive user credentials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
