Administrator-only SQL injection via filterText sanitization bypass
Published Dec 13, 2025 · Updated Dec 13, 2025
SQL injection in Aaron J 404 Solution 3.1.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to extract database data through filterText. The ajaxUpdatePaginationLinks action removes dollar signs from filterText without rechecking the result, so *$/ becomes */ and terminates an SQL comment before attacker-controlled input is appended to an existing query. Administrator-level WordPress access is required, and exploitation provides time-based blind disclosure rather than database writes or service interruption.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
