Unauthenticated database reads and writes via SQL injection

Published Nov 3, 2023 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

SQL injection in Web-X Be POPIA Compliant 1.2.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to manipulate the WordPress database. Patchstack and the vendor changelog do not identify the request parameter, endpoint, or database query that fails to neutralize untrusted SQL syntax. No authentication or user interaction is required, and successful exploitation permits database reads and writes within the WordPress site's database privileges.
