Administrator SQL injection via stored field identifiers
Published Jul 27, 2026 · Updated Jul 27, 2026
SQL injection in QuantumCloud WPBot before 8.5.2 allows remote authenticated users with administrator access to alter database queries. The qc_bot_str_fields setting stores crafted column identifiers that are later inserted into a full-text search query without validation. Exploitation requires an administrator to save the malicious setting and a visitor to invoke Simple Text Responses search, causing attacker-supplied SQL expressions to execute.
