History Log by click5 < 1.0.13 – Admin+ Time-Based Blind SQL Injection | CVE 2023-5082

Description

The plugin does not properly sanitise and escape a parameter before using it in a SQL statement, leading to a SQL injection exploitable by admin users when using the Smash Balloon Social Photo Feed plugin alongside it.

Proof of Concept

[1] Navigate to Instagram Feed > Settings > Manage Sources, then click on "Delete Source". 

SQL Injection occurs via the "?source_id" parameter in the below POST request:

==================

The AJAX hook "wp_ajax_sbi_feed_saver_manager_delete_source" subsequently passes the value of "source_id" and triggers the vulnerable SQL statement within History Log's function "click5_sbi_instagram_delete_source".
