This is due to improper sanitization of the `filterText` parameter in the `ajaxUpdatePaginationLinks` AJAX action. The sanitization logic can be bypassed by using the sequence `*$/` which becomes `*/` after the `$` character is removed, allowing attackers to escape SQL comment contexts. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database via a time-based blind SQL injection technique."}], "metrics": {"cvssMetricV31": [{"source": "[email protected]", "type": "Secondary", "cvssData": {"version": "3.1", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N", "baseScore": 4.9, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "privilegesRequired": "HIGH", "userInteraction": "NONE", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "availabilityImpact": "NONE"}, "exploitabilityScore": 1.2, "impactScore": 3.6}]}, "weaknesses": [{"source": "[email protected]", "type": "Secondary", "description": [{"lang": "en", "value": "CWE-89"}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/404-solution/tags/2.36.10/includes/DataAccess.php#L977", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/404-solution/tags/2.36.10/includes/DataAccess.php#L987", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/404-solution/tags/2.36.10/includes/PluginLogic.php#L1595", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/404-solution/tags/2.36.10/includes/sql/getRedirectsForView.sql#L106", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?sfp_email=&sfph_mail=&reponame=&old=3417333%40404-solution&new=3417333%40404-solution&sfp_email=&sfph_mail=", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/389bee79-b59f-484a-86df-f041d6b00051?source=cve", "source": "[email protected]"}]}}
