Admin SQL injection via unsanitized task identifier
Published May 15, 2025 · Updated May 16, 2025
SQL injection in Taskbuilder before 3.0.9 allows remote authenticated administrators to query the WordPress database through task cloning. The wppm_set_clone_task AJAX action places the task_id parameter into a SQL statement without sanitization or escaping, enabling time-based query manipulation. Administrator access and a valid AJAX nonce are required; the published demonstration proves controlled query timing rather than a specific data-read or write outcome.
