Sensitive-data extraction via unvalidated sort parameters
Published Mar 21, 2026 · Updated Mar 21, 2026
SQL injection in silvercover myLinksDump 1.6 and earlier allows remote authenticated users with administrator access to read database data. The linkdoni_edit_page function concatenates the POST sort_by and sort_order values into an ORDER BY clause, then sends the resulting query to wpdb without validation or parameter binding. The affected link-list page requires WordPress administrator-level access; the documented consequence is extraction of sensitive database data.
