Unauthenticated SQL Injection in Object Sync for Salesforce Plugin

Publication date: 2026-08-15

Last updated on: 2026-08-15

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The Object Sync for Salesforce plugin is vulnerable to unauthenticated SQL Injection via the wordpress_object_type parameter of its /wp-json/object-sync-for-salesforce/push/ REST route. The route's permission callback (can_process()) checks only the HTTP method for the push class — no capability or nonce — so it is reachable by unauthenticated users. The wordpress_object_type value is concatenated directly into a SQL query (post_type = "$object_type", class-object-sync-sf-wordpress.php:328) and executed via $wpdb->get_results() with no $wpdb->prepare() (:578). Because REST body parameters are not magic-quoted, an attacker can break out of the quoted string and inject arbitrary SQL. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries (time-based blind), enabling extraction of sensitive information such as password hashes from the database. Only a valid wordpress_id (e.g. 1) is required — no authentication or Salesforce connection.

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 unauthenticated SQL Injection flaw in the Object Sync for Salesforce plugin for WordPress. It allows attackers to inject malicious SQL queries via the wordpress_object_type parameter in a REST route. The plugin fails to properly sanitize input, enabling attackers to extract sensitive data like password hashes without authentication.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, monitor for unusual SQL queries or REST API requests targeting the /wp-json/object-sync-for-salesforce/push/ endpoint with the wordpress_object_type parameter. Check web server logs for suspicious requests containing SQL injection payloads or time-based blind SQLi attempts.

Impact Analysis

Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this to extract sensitive information from your WordPress database, such as user passwords or other confidential data. They can also potentially modify or delete database entries, leading to data breaches or site compromise.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to personal data, violating GDPR and HIPAA requirements for data protection. Organizations using this plugin may face compliance violations, legal penalties, and reputational damage due to potential data breaches.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update the Object Sync for Salesforce plugin to the latest patched version. If no patch is available, disable the plugin until a fix is released. Review database logs for signs of unauthorized access and consider rotating database credentials as a precaution.
