Unauthenticated SQL injection via unescaped search parameter
Published Jun 13, 2026 · Updated Jun 13, 2026
SQL injection in eMarket Design WP Ticket Starter 6.0.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to read database data via front-end searches. On unauthenticated front-end searches, wp_ticket_com_posts_request() calls emd_author_search_results(), which concatenates the unslashed s value into a SQL LIKE clause inside an appended UNION subquery without preparation or escaping. No account or user interaction is required, and the bounded consequence is disclosure of sensitive database information.
