Database read and write via discount code injection
Published May 20, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
SQL injection in Paid Memberships Pro before 2.3.3 allows remote authenticated users with administrator rights to read or alter database data. Public advisories identify the discount_code_id parameter in adminpages/orders.php as the injection locus but do not disclose the query construction defect. Access to the plugin's administrative orders page is required; successful exploitation permits database reads and writes through arbitrary SQL commands.
