Authenticated database disclosure via unvalidated SQL operator
Published Mar 21, 2026 · Updated Mar 21, 2026
SQL injection in WPDive ElementCamp 2.3.6 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read database data via a crafted AJAX request. The tcg_select2_search_post AJAX handler accepts meta_query[compare] as an SQL operator and applies esc_sql() without an operator allowlist. Author-level WordPress access is required; time-based queries can extract sensitive database information without changing or deleting data.
