Synopsis
A researcher at Tenable discovered an unauthenticated SQL Injection (SQLi) vulnerability in the HTML5 Video Player WordPress plugin.
The SQLi exists because of a lack of validation of the parameter 'id' used in the 'get_view' function which is accessible without authentication.
Proof Of Concept:
The vulnerability can be reproduced by performing the following GET HTTP request against a WordPress instance using a vulnerable version of the plugin and noticing the delayed response :
http://WORDPRESS/?rest_route=/h5vp/v1/view/1&id=1'+AND+(SELECT+1+FROM+(SELECT(SLEEP(5)))a)--+-Solution
Vendor did not acknowledge vulnerability but the issue seems to have been fixed in version 2.5.25.
