Database disclosure via unprepared AJAX value parameter

Published Dec 7, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

SQL injection in Online Web Tutor Library Management System 3.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read database data. The owt_lib_handler AJAX action insufficiently escapes its value parameter and inserts it into an existing SQL query without adequate preparation. Administrator-level WordPress access is required, and injected query fragments can extract sensitive information from the site database.
