Database disclosure via unescaped role filter
Published Jul 16, 2026 · Updated Jul 16, 2026
SQL injection in Xylus Themes WP Bulk Delete 1.4.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read database data via delete_user_roles. The AJAX deletion path unslashes the raw POST body before parse_str() extracts delete_user_roles, then places that unescaped value into an unprepared SQL query. Administrator-level access is required, and the demonstrated consequence is extraction of sensitive database information rather than data modification or service interruption.
