Subscriber-level database disclosure via unsanitized category filters
Published Aug 27, 2026 · Updated Aug 27, 2026
SQL injection in LikeBtn Like Button Rating 2.6.61 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read database data via category filters. The Most Liked Widget builds database queries with unsanitized include_categories and exclude_categories values, allowing supplied SQL syntax to alter each query. Subscriber-level access is required; the confirmed consequences are database disclosure and an unspecified limited service interruption, with no reported ability to modify data.
