DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in the WordPress Poll plugin
for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
SQL injection attacks.
1) Input passed via the "poll_id" POST parameter to
wp-admin/admin-ajax.php (when "action" is set set to
"view_poll_result" or "submit_vote") is not properly sanitised before
being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL
queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
2) Input passed via the "pollid" POST parameter to
wp-admin/admin-ajax.php (when "action" is set to "deletepoll",
"editpoll", "update_answer", "delete_answer", "add_answer",
"save_changes", or "view_poll_logs") is not properly sanitised before
being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL
queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
Successful exploitation of vulnerabilities #1 and #2 may require the
"nonce" value to be known via e.g. previously initiating a vote
submission via the plugin.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 34.06. Other versions
may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
No official solution is currently available.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
1) Marcela Benetrix.
2) Disclosed within a SVN commit.
