Unauthenticated SQL injection via ays_finish_poll
Published Oct 11, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
SQL injection in Poll Maker before 3.4.2 allows remote attackers to exfiltrate database data via the ays_finish_poll AJAX action. The action incorporates attacker-controlled poll parameters into a database query without adequate SQL neutralization, enabling timing-based inference of values such as password hashes even when query results are not returned. No authentication or user interaction is required, and the demonstrated consequence is confidentiality loss rather than a reported ability to modify data or interrupt service.
