CVE-2024-4533Public exploitNetwork attack vector

SQL injection via unsanitized project ID

Published May 27, 2024 · Updated Mar 25, 2025

SQL injection in KKProgressbar2 Free 1.1.4.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute SQL through the project ID. The edit-project action inserts the id parameter from a POST request into a database statement without sanitization or escaping; a sleep expression delays the response. Administrator access is required, and successful queries can read or alter WordPress database data, while no service interruption is established.
