Subscriber-level database disclosure via unescaped sort parameters
Published May 20, 2026 · Updated May 20, 2026
SQL injection in Infility Global 2.15.16 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read sensitive database data. The show_control_data::post_list() function inserts attacker-controlled orderby and order values into an existing SQL query without sufficient escaping or preparation. A Subscriber account is sufficient to reach the read-capability admin page, and successful exploitation exposes sensitive database information.
