Unauthenticated database reads via injected SELECT fields
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 public course archive API. The course-parameter handler character-strips c_fields, splits it into filter fields, and LP_Database::execute concatenates those fields into the SELECT list. No authentication is required; crafted column expressions can replace returned course values with sensitive records from the WordPress database.
