Actualización: Al parecer las versiones menores iguales a 2.0.10 también son vulnerables, por lo que es recomendable que actualicen por lo menos a 2.0.11-RC1 o hagan las correcciones del caso.
A los que todavía sigan usando la rama 2.1 de WordPress, ayer liberaron un exploit que aprovecha de manera remota una vulnerabilidad de tipo SQL Injection en wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
El exploit que muestran es el siguiente:

Los autores de este exploit recomiendan actualizar a la versión 2.2 de WordPress, sin embargo, esta nueva versión también tiene un problema similar que detallaré en su debido momento*. Si no quieren migrar todavía a la versión 2.2, la siguiente línea resaltada parece corregir este fallo (archivo wp-includes/pluggable.php
):
function get_userdatabylogin($user_login) {
global $wpdb;
$user_login = sanitize_user( $user_login );
if ( empty( $user_login ) )
return false;
$userdata = wp_cache_get($user_login, 'userlogins');
if ( $userdata )
return $userdata;
if ( !$user = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->users WHERE user_login = '$user_login'") )
return false;
$wpdb->hide_errors();
$metavalues = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT meta_key, meta_value FROM $wpdb->usermeta WHERE user_id = '$user->ID'");
$wpdb->show_errors();
if ($metavalues) {
foreach ( $metavalues as $meta ) {
$value = maybe_unserialize($meta->meta_value);
$user->{$meta->meta_key} = $value;
// We need to set user_level from meta, not row
if ( $wpdb->prefix . 'user_level' == $meta->meta_key )
$user->user_level = $meta->meta_value;
}
}
// For backwards compat.
if ( isset($user->first_name) )
$user->user_firstname = $user->first_name;
if ( isset($user->last_name) )
$user->user_lastname = $user->last_name;
if ( isset($user->description) )
$user->user_description = $user->description;
wp_cache_add($user->ID, $user, 'users');
wp_cache_add($user->user_login, $user, 'userlogins');
return $user;
}
endif;
*: Tengo que decidir que hacer con mi vida 🙂 y ponerme al tanto de las cosas que estaba haciendo luego de estas dos semanas de ausencia.
