All In One WP Security & Firewall <= 3.8.2 - Authenticated Access or Cross-Site Request Forgery leading to SQL Injection via orderby, order Parameters

Strategic Overview

Vulnerability Overview

Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in the All In One WP Security & Firewall plugin before 3.8.3 for WordPress allow remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the (1) orderby or (2) order parameter in the aiowpsec page to wp-admin/admin.php. NOTE: this can be leveraged using CSRF to allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 3.8.3, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')) The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
