Unauthenticated database disclosure via unescaped page type
Published Feb 24, 2022 · Updated Jan 31, 2025
SQL injection in VeronaLabs WP Statistics 13.1.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to read database data via current_page_type. The hit REST flow copies current_page_type into a page type value that a database lookup concatenates into SQL without escaping or parameterization. Cache Compatibility must be enabled, and a public page supplies the nonce needed to reach the unauthenticated endpoint for blind data extraction.
