Module Overview

Name: WordPress ChopSlider3 id SQLi Scanner
Module: auxiliary/scanner/http/wp_chopslider_id_sqli
Source code: modules/auxiliary/scanner/http/wp_chopslider_id_sqli.rb
Disclosure date: 2020-05-12
Last modification time: 2021-12-14 16:40:52 +0000
Supported architecture(s): -
Supported platform(s): -
Target service / protocol: http, https
Target network port(s): 80, 443, 3000, 8000, 8008, 8080, 8443, 8880, 8888
List of CVEs: CVE-2020-11530

The iDangero.us Chop Slider 3 WordPress plugin version 3.4 and prior contains a blind SQL injection in the id parameter of the get_script/index.php page. The injection is passed through GET parameters, and thus must be encoded, and magic_quotes is applied at the server.

Module Ranking and Traits

Module Ranking:

  • normal: The exploit is otherwise reliable, but depends on a specific version and can't (or doesn't) reliably autodetect. More information about ranking can be found here.

Stability:

  • crash-safe: Module should not crash the service.

Side Effects:

  • ioc-in-logs: Module leaves signs of a compromise in a log file (Example: SQL injection data found in HTTP log).

Basic Usage

This module is a scanner module, and is capable of testing against multiple hosts.

msf > use auxiliary/scanner/http/wp_chopslider_id_sqli
msf auxiliary(wp_chopslider_id_sqli) > show options
    ... show and set options ...
msf auxiliary(wp_chopslider_id_sqli) > set RHOSTS ip-range
msf auxiliary(wp_chopslider_id_sqli) > exploit

Other examples of setting the RHOSTS option:

Example 1:

msf auxiliary(wp_chopslider_id_sqli) > set RHOSTS 192.168.1.3-192.168.1.200

Example 2:

msf auxiliary(wp_chopslider_id_sqli) > set RHOSTS 192.168.1.1/24

Example 3:

msf auxiliary(wp_chopslider_id_sqli) > set RHOSTS file:/tmp/ip_list.txt

Required Options

  • RHOSTS: The target host(s), range CIDR identifier, or hosts file with syntax 'file:<path>'

Knowledge Base

Vulnerable Application

The iDangero.us Chop Slider 3 WordPress plugin 3.4 and prior contains a blind SQL injection in the id parameter of the get_script/index.php page. The injection is passed through GET parameters, and thus must be encoded, and magic_quotes is applied at the server.

The plugin can be downloaded from github

This module slightly replicates sqlmap running as:

sqlmap -u 'http://local.target/wp-content/plugins/chopslider/get_script/index.php?id=1111111111' --level=5 --risk=3 --technique=B

Verification Steps

  1. Install the plugin and activate it
  2. Start msfconsole
  3. Do: use auxiliary/scanner/http/wp_chopslider_id_sqli
  4. Do: set rhosts [ip]
  5. Do: run
  6. You should get a dump of usernames and password hashes.

Options

ACTION: List Users

This action lists COUNT users and password hashes.

COUNT

If Action List Users is selected (default), this is the number of users to enumerate. The larger this list, the more time it will take. Defaults to 1.

Scenarios

iDangero.us Chop Slider 3.4 on Wordpress 5.4.4 running on Ubuntu 20.04.
