# Google Dork: inurl:"/wp-content/plugins/count-per-day
# Date: 18.03.2013
# Exploit Author: m3tamantra (http://m3tamantra.wordpress.com/blog)
# Vendor Homepage: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/count-per-day/
# Software Link: http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/count-per-day.3.2.5.zip
# Version: 3.2.5
# Tested on: Apache/2.2.16 (Debian) PHP 5.3.3-7+squeeze14 with Suhosin-Patch (cli)
#
#
# Because this is my first Vulnerability I ever found by my self, I wrote a PoC script
# I know that this is overkill and the Vulnerability is trivial to exploit :P
# The JavaScript Payload is executed when the Admin views Count per Day - Statistics
#
# Note: Like the name says "Count per Day" will only count an Visitor one time per Day per Page
# $date = date_i18n('Y-m-d');
# // new visitor on page?
# $count = $this->mysqlQuery('var', $wpdb->prepare("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb->cpd_counter WHERE ip=$this->aton(%s) AND date=%s AND page=%d", $userip, $date, $page), 'count check '.__LINE__);
