Authenticated SQL injection via unvalidated sort order
Published Apr 11, 2026 · Updated Apr 11, 2026
SQL injection in LifterLMS 9.2.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read sensitive database data via the order parameter. LLMS_Table_Quiz_Non_Attempts::get_results uses the request-derived order value in an ORDER BY clause without restricting it to ASC or DESC. Exploitation requires Instructor-level access or higher and the edit_post capability for the targeted quiz; the reported consequence is database disclosure.
