Unauthenticated SQL injection via wcategory ID
Published Mar 6, 2026 · Updated Mar 6, 2026
SQL injection in SnowHall Silurus Classifieds Script 2.0 allows remote attackers to read and alter database data through an HTTP GET request. The wcategory.php handler accepts the ID query parameter as SQL syntax; a UNION SELECT payload changes the query and returns database table names. No authentication or user interaction is required, and the demonstrated consequence is database schema and sensitive-data disclosure rather than host code execution.
