Summary

The Web 2.0 Directory plugin for WordPress in versions up to and including 2.10.12 is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the 'w2dc_level_filter' parameter. Unauthenticated attackers can append additional SQL queries to existing queries, enabling extraction of sensitive information from the database. Because the parameter is used in integer context without surrounding quotes, WordPress's built-in addslashes/magic_quotes escaping provides no protection against time-based payloads such as SLEEP-based conditionals.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data from the database, potentially leading to confidentiality breaches. It can be exploited via time-based attacks, which are harder to detect.

Recommendation

Update the Web 2.0 Directory plugin to the latest version that fixes this vulnerability. If updating is not possible, consider disabling the plugin or implementing WAF rules to block suspicious parameters.

Original NVD description (English source)

The Web 2.0 Directory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the 'w2dc_level_filter' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.10.12 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. Because the parameter is used in integer context without surrounding quotes, WordPress's built-in addslashes/magic_quotes escaping provides no protection against time-based payloads such as SLEEP-based conditionals.
