Administrator SQL injection via unescaped id parameter
Published Jan 2, 2023 · Updated Apr 11, 2025
SQL injection in the multimedial images WordPress plugin 1.0b and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute injected SQL. The page=mmi administration route passes the id parameter for the delbg action into an SQL statement without proper sanitization or escaping. Administrator access is required; a published time-delay expression demonstrates query control, with effects limited to the WordPress database account.
