Unauthenticated database disclosure via unquoted ORDER BY
Published Jun 24, 2026 · Updated Jun 24, 2026
SQL injection in Appy Pie WP Forms Connector 1.8 and earlier allows remote attackers to read database data through its post-list REST endpoint. The listPost() function concatenates the order parameter unquoted into an ORDER BY clause and passes the resulting query to $wpdb->get_results() without $wpdb->prepare(). The endpoint permits all callers and checks only whether the supplied Username names an administrator, without validating Password, exposing sensitive database contents.
