Unauthenticated database extraction via forwarded IP header
Published Jan 18, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
SQL injection in WP Extended 3.0.12 and earlier allows remote attackers to extract database data through the Login Attempts module. The module places the attacker-controlled X-Forwarded-For header into an SQL query without sufficient escaping or a prepared statement. No authentication or user interaction is required, and time-based response delays expose query results without direct output.
