Database disclosure via unprepared shortcode queries
Published Mar 13, 2026 · Updated Mar 13, 2026
SQL injection in Media Library Assistant 3.32 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to extract data through crafted shortcode parameters. The mla_tag_cloud and mla_term_list shortcodes incorporate user-supplied parameters into database queries without sufficient escaping or prepared-query handling. Contributor-level access is required; exploitation can disclose sensitive WordPress database contents and has no documented data-write path.
