Unauthenticated SQL injection via unescaped order ID

Published May 14, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

SQL injection in Car Seller - Auto Classifieds Script 2.1.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to read database data via an AJAX request. The request_list_request AJAX handler inserts the order_id POST parameter into an SQL statement without sanitization, validation, or escaping. The handler is reachable without authentication, and the published proof of concept retrieves the database account name through a UNION query.
