AI-analyzed exploit summary This repository contains a functional Python script that exploits a time-based SQL injection vulnerability (CVE-2025-5287) in a WordPress plugin. The script uses threaded requests to test multiple URLs for susceptibility to the SQLi by measuring delays from injected SLEEP functions.

Description

The Likes and Dislikes Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'post' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.0 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
