Email Artillery (MASS EMAIL) <= 4.1 - Authenticated SQL Injection
Strategic Overview
Vulnerability Overview
The Email Artillery (MASS EMAIL) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to various SQL Injection via the 'post_id' and 'email_id' parameters in versions up to, and including, 4.1 due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated Admin+ attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
Technical Analysis
REMEDIATION: No known patch available. Please review the vulnerability's details in depth and employ mitigations based on your organization's risk tolerance. It may be best to uninstall the affected software and find a replacement. --- 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.
