Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in David Lingren Media LIbrary Assistant allows Blind SQL Injection.
This issue affects Media LIbrary Assistant: from n/a through 3.35.
AnalysisAI
Blind SQL injection in the David Lingren Media Library Assistant WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 3.35) allows authenticated low-privilege users to inject SQL via unsanitized input into a database query, with scope-changed impact reaching the underlying WordPress database. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the plugin's wide WordPress deployment footprint and the low privilege bar make this a meaningful risk for multi-author sites. Patchstack published the advisory; no fixed version is listed in the available data.
Technical ContextAI
Media Library Assistant is a popular WordPress plugin that extends the WordPress media library with taxonomy support, shortcodes, and bulk editing of attachments. The root cause is CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command): user-controlled input is concatenated or interpolated into a SQL query without using $wpdb->prepare() or proper escaping, producing a blind SQLi where the attacker infers data via boolean/time-based oracle responses rather than direct result output. The CVSS scope change (S:C) indicates the vulnerable PHP component can affect the broader WordPress database security boundary - typical for plugin-level SQLi against the shared wp_ tables.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis from the provided data; consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/media-library-assistant/vulnerability/wordpress-media-library-assistant-plugin-3-35-sql-injection-vulnerability and upgrade to any release later than 3.35 once the maintainer publishes a fix on the WordPress.org plugin page. As compensating controls while waiting for a fix, deactivate the Media Library Assistant plugin if its features are not in active use (trade-off: loss of extended media management and shortcodes on the site), restrict low-privilege role creation by disabling open user registration in WordPress General Settings (trade-off: blocks legitimate self-service signup), and place a WAF rule in front of the site that blocks SQL meta-characters in requests to wp-admin endpoints associated with the plugin (trade-off: may produce false positives on legitimate bulk-edit workflows). Audit existing low-privilege accounts and rotate credentials for any account that could be attacker-controlled.
