Admin-level SQL injection via unescaped AIOSEO fields
Published Aug 29, 2026 · Updated Aug 29, 2026
SQL injection in WP Ultimate CSV Importer before 9.0 allows remote authenticated users with Administrator access to read database data via imports. The AIOSEO import path places imported field values into an SQL statement without adequate sanitization or escaping. Administrator access and a crafted import are required; the published vector limits impact to database confidentiality.
