2DescriptionCVE.org
The rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the order_by parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.6.18 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
AnalysisAI
Time-based blind SQL injection in the rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress plugin (versions up to and including 4.6.18) allows authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access or higher to exfiltrate sensitive data from the WordPress database via the order_by parameter. The low authentication bar - any registered user qualifies - combined with a network-accessible attack vector and high confidentiality impact makes this a meaningful risk for community or membership sites with open user registration enabled. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated WordPress session with subscriber role or above - the minimum default WordPress role assigned to any registered user. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) accurately reflects the risk profile: network-accessible, low complexity, but gated behind subscriber-level authentication. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker registers a free subscriber account on a WordPress site running rtMedia 4.6.18 with open user registration enabled, then submits authenticated HTTP requests to the plugin's media listing endpoint with a crafted `order_by` value such as `1 AND SLEEP(5)-- -`. By measuring whether the server response is delayed by approximately 5 seconds, the attacker confirms the injection point and proceeds to enumerate the WordPress user table - extracting email addresses and password hashes - using automated time-based exfiltration. … |
| Remediation | Update the rtMedia plugin to a version released after 4.6.18 as soon as a patched release is published to the WordPress plugin repository; the underlying code fix is confirmed in SVN changeset 3071359 but a formally tagged release version is not independently confirmed from available data - monitor the plugin's changelog at https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-media/#developers. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
