Database disclosure via unprepared delete_orphaned query
Published Nov 8, 2025 · Updated Nov 8, 2025
SQL injection in Quick Featured Images 13.7.3 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to extract sensitive database information. The delete_orphaned function incorporates an attacker-influenced custom-field value into an insufficiently escaped SQL query without adequate preparation. Exploitation requires Editor-level access and an Author-level or higher user to add the malicious custom-field value; the resulting access is limited to database reads.
