Rest Routes
Monthly
Unauthenticated SQL injection in the Rest Routes WordPress plugin (through version 5.5.5) allows any remote attacker to extract sensitive data from the underlying WordPress database by crafting a malicious request to a publicly accessible REST endpoint. The flaw stems from a URL-derived parameter being passed directly into a SQL query without sanitization or parameterization, requiring no authentication and no user interaction. A publicly available proof-of-concept exists per WPScan, though the EPSS score of 0.18% (7th percentile) indicates exploitation remains infrequent despite the PoC's accessibility.
