CVE-2022-4050Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Database disclosure via unprepared AJAX query

Published Dec 19, 2022 · Updated Apr 17, 2025

SQL injection in BearDev JoomSport before 5.2.8 allows remote attackers to extract WordPress database data through a public AJAX request. The joomsport_md_load AJAX action incorporates the nested id value from the shattr parameter into an SQL query without sufficient escaping or preparation. No authentication or user interaction is required; crafted shattr input can expose database records available to the WordPress process.
