CWE ID Description
CWE-89 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.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is an SQL Injection issue in the Arjun Thakur Duplicate Page and Post plugin. Specifically, it is a Blind SQL Injection caused by improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands. This means that an attacker can manipulate SQL queries by injecting malicious input that is not properly sanitized.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability has a high severity with a CVSS base score of 8.5. It allows an attacker with low privileges and no user interaction to perform Blind SQL Injection, potentially leading to high confidentiality impact and low availability impact. This could result in unauthorized access to sensitive data or partial disruption of service.

Compliance Impact

The vulnerability allows malicious actors to interact directly with the website's database, potentially stealing sensitive information.

Such unauthorized access and potential data theft can lead to non-compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, which require safeguarding sensitive personal and health information.

Therefore, if exploited, this SQL Injection vulnerability could result in violations of these common standards and regulations due to compromised data confidentiality.

Detection Guidance

The vulnerability is a Blind SQL Injection in the WordPress Duplicate Page and Post Plugin (version 2.9.5 and below). Detection typically involves testing for SQL injection points in the plugin's input fields or parameters that interact with the database.

Since the vulnerability requires contributor-level privileges, detection commands or tools should focus on sending crafted SQL payloads to the plugin's interfaces to observe any abnormal behavior or database error responses.

Specific commands are not provided in the available resources, but common approaches include using SQL injection testing tools like sqlmap targeting the plugin's URL parameters or using manual curl commands with SQL payloads to test for injection.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediate mitigation steps include updating the WordPress Duplicate Page and Post Plugin to a version higher than 2.9.5 once an official patch is released.

Until a patch is available, users are advised to seek assistance from their hosting provider or web developer to implement temporary security measures.

Additionally, restricting contributor-level access to trusted users and monitoring for suspicious database activity can help reduce the risk.
