CVE-2022-0846Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated SQL injection via unsanitized petition ID

Published Mar 28, 2022 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

SQL injection in SpeakOut! Email Petitions before 2.14.15.1 allows remote attackers to execute SQL through a public AJAX request. The dk_speakout_sendmail action inserts the unsanitized id parameter into an SQL statement, permitting time-based payloads through admin-ajax.php. No account is required, but the published proof of concept requires an existing petition configured not to send email; successful injection can read or alter the WordPress database.
