CVE-2024-4443Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated database disclosure via unprepared listingfields query

Published May 22, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Time-based SQL injection in Strategy11 LLC Business Directory Plugin 6.4.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to read database data. The front-end search path passes attacker-controlled listingfields array keys into WPBDP__Listing_Search and incorporates them into an insufficiently prepared SQL query. No authentication is required; crafted directory-search requests can append time-delay expressions and extract sensitive data through a timing oracle.
