Authenticated SQL injection via unprepared slug queries
Published Oct 20, 2023 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
SQL injection in Cyr to Lat Enhanced 3.5 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to extract database data through crafted term or tag input. The ctl_sanitize_title function insufficiently escapes attacker-controlled slug input and incorporates it into database queries without adequate preparation. Exploitation requires an account permitted to add or modify terms or tags; injected query fragments can read sensitive database information.
