At a glance
CVE-2015-0894 is a critical-severity Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in the All-In-One Security (AIOS) WordPress plugin, affecting versions < 3.8.8. It carries a CVSS score of 9.0 (reachable over the network; high confidentiality, integrity, availability impact). Exploitation requires no authentication. The issue is fixed in version 3.8.8; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed March 2015, reported by ooooooo_q.
Vulnerability Overview
SQL injection vulnerability in the All In One WP Security & Firewall plugin before 3.8.8 for WordPress allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via unspecified vectors.
Technical Analysis
The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, and no privileges on the target site, and no interaction from a victim user. A successful exploit has high impact on confidentiality, integrity, availability — full site compromise territory.
CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')
Reaching this weakness in All-In-One Security (AIOS) < 3.8.8 takes a caller who can reach the endpoint. SQL injection happens when request data is concatenated into a query instead of being bound as a parameter, letting an attacker change the structure of the statement rather than just its values.
A working injection can read any table the database user can see, which on a WordPress install means user records, password hashes and session or API secrets stored in options. For All-In-One Security (AIOS) the fix is 3.8.8: builds < 3.8.8 are affected, anything from 3.8.8 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 3.8.8, or a newer patched version
How does WordSec protect against this?
The attempt arrives as an ordinary request to All-In-One Security (AIOS): WordSec's web application firewall inspects request payloads before WordPress loads them. None of that substitutes for the fix: All-In-One Security (AIOS) 3.8.8 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
