Unauthenticated database disclosure via unescaped AJAX parameter
Published Mar 28, 2022 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
SQL injection in Jason Funk's Title Experiments Free before 9.0.1 allows remote attackers to read database data through an AJAX request. The wpex_titles AJAX action inserts the unescaped id parameter into an unprepared SQL query, enabling blind time-based query manipulation. No authentication is required, and the published proof of concept demonstrates a database delay oracle through WordPress's public AJAX endpoint.
