Authenticated database disclosure via shortcode SQL injection
Published Nov 2, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
SQL injection in BookingPress 1.1.16 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read database data through the service shortcode parameter. The bookingpress_form shortcode inserts the user-controlled service value into an existing database query without sufficient escaping or parameter preparation, permitting appended SQL. Subscriber-level access is required, and successful exploitation discloses database information without reported modification or service interruption.
