At a glance

CVE-2019-14313 is a critical-severity Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in the Photo Gallery by 10Web WordPress plugin, affecting versions < 1.5.31. It carries a CVSS score of 9.8 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity; high confidentiality, integrity, availability impact). Exploitation requires no authentication. The issue is fixed in version 1.5.31; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed July 2019, reported by Tin Duong.

Vulnerability Overview

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in the 10Web Photo Gallery plugin before 1.5.31 for WordPress. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability would allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the affected system via filemanager/model.php.

Technical Analysis

The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, 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 Photo Gallery by 10Web < 1.5.31 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 Photo Gallery by 10Web the fix is 1.5.31: builds < 1.5.31 are affected, anything from 1.5.31 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 1.5.31, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

The attempt arrives as an ordinary request to Photo Gallery by 10Web: WordSec's web application firewall inspects request payloads before WordPress loads them. None of that substitutes for the fix: Photo Gallery by 10Web 1.5.31 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
