Readycheck to confirm it

The REST API TO MiniProgram plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'order' parameter of the /wp-json/watch-life-net/v1/comment/getcomments REST API endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 4.7.1 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

Impact

Unauthenticated attackers can exploit time-based SQL injection through the order parameter to extract sensitive database information, including user credentials, comments, and personal data from the WordPress database.

Fix

Update REST API TO MiniProgram plugin to a version later than 4.7.1 to address the SQL injection vulnerability in the order parameter of the getcomments REST API endpoint.

How to confirm it

Send: GET /
Positive when: contains(body, "/wp-content/plugins/rest-api-to-miniprogram") and status_code == 200
Send: @timeout 20s
Positive when: duration>=6 and contains_all(body, "code","success","status") and contains(content_type,"application/json") and status_code == 200
