SQL query manipulation via injectable sort accessor
Published Sep 13, 2024 · Updated Sep 13, 2024
SQL injection in Jordy Meow AI Engine before 2.4.8 allows remote authenticated users to manipulate database queries via chatbot discussions. The /wp-json/mwai/v1/discussions/list handler passes the attacker-controlled sort.accessor value into an SQL ORDER BY clause without sanitizing, escaping, or allowlisting it. Exploitation requires an administrator session and enabled Discussions; the published time-delay proof confirms query manipulation rather than broader compromise.
