Unauthenticated SQL injection via unescaped ordering parameter
Published Nov 20, 2023 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
SQL injection in WP Hotel Booking before 2.0.8 allows remote attackers to read or alter WordPress database data through an ordering parameter. The admin_init handler accepts hb_room_type_ordering values without authorization or CSRF checks and concatenates them into an unprepared SQL query. No authentication is required; the published proof of concept rewrites a room-type category name with password hashes read from wp_users.
