Authenticated SQL injection via unsanitized orderby parameter
Published Sep 13, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
SQL injection in affected WP Simple Booking Calendar 2.0.6 builds and earlier allows remote authenticated users to alter database queries. The Search Calendars action inserts the unescaped, unvalidated, and unsanitized orderby value into an SQL statement, permitting injected expressions to change its execution. Access to the WordPress administrative calendar search is required, and the published proof of concept demonstrates a six-second database delay.
