Database disclosure via unescaped c_only_fields selection
Published Sep 12, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
SQL injection in ThimPress LearnPress 4.2.7 and earlier allows remote attackers to read database data through the courses REST API. The controller assigns c_only_fields directly to only_fields, which the database layer joins into the SELECT field list without escaping or preparation. No authentication is required; crafted course-list requests can override selected column values and extract database contents.
