Executive brief
The Frontend Admin by DynamiApps plugin for WordPress, which allows users to manage site content from the front end, is vulnerable to a security flaw that could allow an administrator to access sensitive database information. By manipulating specific web requests, an authorized user with high-level permissions can run unauthorized database commands. This could lead to the exposure of confidential site data, though it requires existing administrative access to exploit.
Technical details
The Frontend Admin by DynamiApps plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to a generic SQL Injection via the 'order' parameter in versions up to and including 3.28.28. This is due to insufficient escaping of user-supplied input and a lack of proper preparation of the SQL query within the payments list component. An authenticated attacker with administrator-level privileges can append additional SQL queries to existing ones to extract sensitive data. To successfully exploit the vulnerability, the attacker must also provide a valid 'orderby' parameter in the same request to reach the vulnerable code path. A patch appears to be available in version 3.29.3.
