Database disclosure via unprepared field_conditions query
Published Jun 14, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
SQL injection in AutomatorWP 5.2.5 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to extract WordPress database data via field_conditions. The All Posts trigger inserts the user-supplied field_conditions value into an existing database query without sufficient escaping or prepared parameters, enabling time-delay clauses and data extraction. Administrator access is required by default, although the minimum role can be lowered to Author, and successful exploitation exposes database contents.
