The UsersWP – Front-end login form, User Registration, User Profile & Members Directory plugin for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the ‘uwp_sort_by’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.10 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.

  • Fingerprint vulnerable UsersWP installations by checking HTTP 200 responses whose body contains any of the strings: 'uwp-users', 'uwp_page', or 'wp-content/plugins/userswp'.
  • The vulnerability is exploitable by unauthenticated attackers; monitor for anomalous SQL time-delay patterns (slow query logs) originating from unauthenticated sessions on WordPress endpoints that accept 'uwp_sort_by'.
  • ·All versions up to and including 1.2.10 of the UsersWP plugin are affected; ensure version checks in detection rules cap at 1.2.10.
