CVE-2023-54333Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated database disclosure via project_id SQL injection

Published Jan 13, 2026 · Updated Jan 13, 2026

SQL injection in WordPress Social Share Buttons 2.2.3 allows remote attackers to read database contents through a crafted POST request. The social-sharing-share action passes the untrusted project_id value into a database query without neutralizing SQL syntax, enabling boolean- and time-based blind injection. No authentication or user interaction is required, and the demonstrated consequence is database-data extraction rather than service interruption.
