Title source: llmExploitation Summary
CVE-2022-21661 has been observed exploited in the wild (reported by VulnCheck KEV). EIP tracks 14 public exploits from researchers including Aryan Chehreghani, z92g, purple-WL. A Nuclei detection template is also available.
AI-analyzed exploit summary This exploit demonstrates a SQL injection vulnerability in WordPress Core versions prior to 5.8.3 via the WP_Query class. The PoC provides a sample HTTP request that injects malicious input into the 'tax_query' parameter, allowing an attacker to disclose sensitive information from the database.
Description
WordPress is a free and open-source content management system written in PHP and paired with a MariaDB database. Due to improper sanitization in WP_Query, there can be cases where SQL injection is possible through plugins or themes that use it in a certain way. This has been patched in WordPress version 5.8.3. Older affected versions are also fixed via security release, that go back till 3.7.37. We strongly recommend that you keep auto-updates enabled. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
