    3. Vulnerability Description
    ============================
    During the security analysis, ThunderScan discovered SQL injection
    vulnerabilities in Easy Modal WordPress plugin.
    
    The easiest way to reproduce the vulnerability is to visit the
    provided URL while being logged in as administrator or another user
    that is authorized to access the plugin settings page. Users that do
    not have full administrative privileges could abuse the database
    access the vulnerability provides to either escalate their privileges
    or obtain and modify database contents they were not supposed to be
    able to.
    
    The nonce token is required as the URL parameter. Token value is not
    unique for each request, nor per each URL, so if the attacker manages
    to obtain a valid token value, the module could be exposed to attack
    vectors such as Cross Site request forgery (CSRF).
    
    3.1. SQL injection
    Function: $wpdb->query()
    Variables: $_GET['id'], $_GET['ids'], $_GET['modal']

    te&id%5B0%5D=4%20AND%20SLEEP(5)&easy-modal_nonce=xxx
    File: easy-modal\classes\controller\admin\modals.php
    ---------
    93 $ids = is_array($_GET['id']) ? $_GET['id'] :
    array($_GET['id']);
    ...
    97 $ids = $_GET['ids'];
    ...
    101 $ids = $_GET['modal'];
    ...
    110 $wpdb->query("UPDATE {$wpdb->prefix}em_modals SET
    is_trash = 1 WHERE id IN (".implode(',', $ids).")");
    ---------
    
    3.2. SQL injection
    Function: $wpdb->query()
    Variables: $_GET['id'], $_GET['ids'], $_GET['modal']

    dal%26status%3Dtrash&page=easy-modal&action=untrash&paged=1&id[]=2)%20AN
    D%20SLEEP(10)--%20ZpVQ&action2=-1
    File: easy-modal\classes\controller\admin\modals.php
    ---------
    123 $ids = is_array($_GET['id']) ? $_GET['id'] :
    array($_GET['id']);
    ...
    127 $ids = $_GET['ids'];
    ...
