Technical details

The JoomSport plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based blind SQL Injection due to insufficient escaping on the 'sortf' parameter and a lack of sufficient preparation on existing SQL queries within the class-jsport-getplayers.php and class-jsport-playerlist.php files. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by appending malicious SQL commands to legitimate queries via a network request. Because the vulnerability is time-based blind, the attacker can infer data from the database based on the time the server takes to respond to specific queries. This can be used to extract sensitive information, including user credentials and site metadata. The issue affects all versions up to and including 5.7.7.
