WordPress Core < 3.8.2 - SQL Injection
Strategic Overview
Vulnerability Overview
WordPress Core, in versions less than 3.8.2, is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'links_recently_updated_time' parameter. This can only be exploited by administrative users and above.
Technical Analysis
REMEDIATION: Update to version 3.8.2, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')) The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
