SQL Injection in HTML5 Video Player WordPress Plugin

High
← View More Research Advisories

Synopsis

A researcher at Tenable discovered an unauthenticated SQL Injection (SQLi) vulnerability in the HTML5 Video Player WordPress plugin.

The SQLi exists because of a lack of validation of the parameter 'id'  used in the 'get_view' function which is accessible without authentication.

Proof Of Concept:

The vulnerability can be reproduced by performing the following GET HTTP request against a WordPress instance using a vulnerable version of the plugin and noticing the delayed response :

http://WORDPRESS/?rest_route=/h5vp/v1/view/1&id=1'+AND+(SELECT+1+FROM+(SELECT(SLEEP(5)))a)--+-

Solution

Vendor did not acknowledge vulnerability but the issue seems to have been fixed in version 2.5.25.
