SexyPolling SQL Injection

====================

| Identifier: | AIT-SA-20220208-01|
| Target: | Sexy Polling ( Joomla Extension) |
| Vendor: | 2glux |
| Version: | all versions below version 2.1.8 |
| CVE: | Not yet |
| Accessibility: | Remote |
| Severity: | Critical |
| Author: | Wolfgang Hotwagner (AIT Austrian Institute of Technology) |


Summary

========

[Sexy Polling is a Joomla Extension for votes.](https://2glux.com/projects/sexypolling). In all versions below 2.1.8 an unauthenticated attacker could execute arbitrary SQL commands by sending crafted POST-parameters to poll.php.


Vulnerability Description

====================

In the vote.php file, the POST parameters min_date and max_date are insufficiently checked and sanitized. An attacker can use these parameters to send payloads for sql injections.

In lines 74 and 75 in the *site/vote.php* code, the parameters are assigned without being checked:

```
$min_date_sent = isset($_POST['min_date']) ? $_POST['min_date'].' 00:00:00' : '';
$max_date_sent = isset($_POST['max_date']) ? $_POST['max_date'].' 23:59:59' : '';
```

These are later used unfiltered by the WHERE clause:

```
$query_toal = "SELECT
COUNT(sv.`id_answer`) total_count,
MAX(sv.`date`) max_date,
MIN(sv.`date`) min_date
FROM
`#__sexy_votes` sv
JOIN
`#__sexy_answers` sa ON sa.id_poll = '$polling_id'
AND
sa.published = '1'
WHERE
sv.`id_answer` = sa.id";

//if dates are sent, add them to query
if ($min_date_sended != '' && $max_date_sended != '')
$query_toal .= " AND sv.`date` >= '$min_date_sended' AND sv.`date` <= '$max_date_sended' ";
```

Proof Of Concept

==============

To check a system for vulnerability, modify the POST request so that the min_date parameter contains a single apostrophe.

HTTP-Request:
```

```

The HTTP-Resoonse contains a mysql error:
