Testimonial < 2.3 - Multiple Vulnerabilities
Strategic Overview
Vulnerability Overview
The Testimonial plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 2.2. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the save_testimonial function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to perform Cross-Site Scripting and SQL Injection attacks via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
Technical Analysis
REMEDIATION: Update to version 2.3, 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.
