Authenticated SQL injection via delete action id

Published Feb 14, 2022 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

SQL injection in Ad Invalid Click Protector before 1.2.6 allows remote authenticated users to execute SQL through the delete action. The banned-user details handler places the id query parameter into the deletion query without safely neutralizing SQL syntax. Access to WordPress administration is required, and successful injection grants the database privileges available to the WordPress application.
