Database disclosure via unescaped taxonomy query parameters
Published May 13, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Time-based SQL injection in Relevanssi 4.24.4 and earlier and Relevanssi Premium 2.27.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to read database data. The search-query builders in lib/search.php and lib/search-tax-query.php concatenate cats and tags values into SQL without adequate escaping or prepared placeholders. No authentication or user interaction is required; time-delay predicates provide an oracle for extracting sensitive database contents.
