Administrator-level database query manipulation via unescaped delete_message parameter
Published Feb 27, 2023 · Updated Mar 10, 2025
SQL injection in Premio My Sticky Elements before 2.0.9 allows remote authenticated users to manipulate database queries when deleting messages. The leads-page deletion handler inserts the attacker-controlled delete_message parameter into an SQL statement without sanitization or escaping. Administrator access to the WordPress dashboard is required; the published time-delay proof of concept demonstrates injected query execution.
