| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
HTML5 Video Player WordPress plugin versions prior to 2.5.27
Description
The issue concerns a failure to sanitize and escape a parameter from a REST route before using it in a SQL statement. This allows unauthenticated users to perform SQL injection attacks. The vulnerable API endpoint is "/wp-json/h5vp/v1/video/0" with the
id parameter being used in the SQL statement. An example of exploitation is provided using the GET method with a crafted id parameter.Recommendations
For versions prior to 2.5.27, update to version 2.5.27 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the vulnerable API endpoint "/wp-json/h5vp/v1/video/0" until the update is applied. Avoid using the
id parameter in the affected API endpoint until the issue is resolved.Exploit
