Database read and write via unescaped rs_id
Published Aug 23, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
SQL injection in Nimble3 M-vSlider 2.1.3 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read or alter the WordPress database. The rslider_page update handler concatenates the rs_id POST value directly into an SQL UPDATE statement without validation, sanitization, or escaping. Administrator access to the WordPress dashboard is required; crafted expressions execute with the database account's privileges and delay query completion.
