SQL Injection
SQL injection exploits the way applications construct database queries by mixing user input directly into SQL statements.
How It Works
SQL injection exploits the way applications construct database queries by mixing user input directly into SQL statements. When developers concatenate untrusted data into queries without proper sanitization, attackers can inject SQL syntax that changes the query's logic. For example, entering ' OR '1'='1 into a login form might transform SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='input' into a query that always returns true, bypassing authentication.
Attackers follow a methodical process: first probing input fields with special characters like quotes or semicolons to trigger database errors, then identifying whether the application is vulnerable. Once confirmed, they escalate by injecting commands to extract data (UNION-based attacks to merge results from other tables), manipulate records, or probe the database structure. Blind SQL injection variants work without visible error messages—boolean-based attacks infer data by observing application behavior changes, while time-based attacks use database sleep functions to confirm successful injection through response delays.
Advanced scenarios include second-order injection, where malicious input is stored in the database and later executed in a different context, and out-of-band attacks that exfiltrate data through DNS queries or HTTP requests when direct data retrieval isn't possible. Some database systems enable attackers to execute operating system commands through built-in functions like MySQL's LOAD_FILE or SQL Server's xp_cmdshell, escalating from database compromise to full server control.
Impact
- Complete data breach — extraction of entire database contents including credentials, personal information, and proprietary data
- Authentication bypass — logging in as any user without knowing passwords
- Data manipulation — unauthorized modification or deletion of critical records
- Privilege escalation — granting administrative rights to attacker-controlled accounts
- Remote code execution — leveraging database features to run operating system commands and compromise the underlying server
- Lateral movement — using compromised database credentials to access other connected systems
Real-World Examples
FreePBX's CVE-2025-66039 demonstrated a complete attack chain where SQL injection across 11 parameters in four different endpoints allowed attackers to write malicious entries into the cron_jobs table. When the system's scheduler executed these entries, the injected SQL transformed into operating system commands, granting full server control. The vulnerability required no authentication, making it immediately exploitable.
E-commerce platforms have suffered massive breaches through shopping cart SQL injection, where attackers inserted skimming code into stored procedures that executed during checkout, harvesting credit card data from thousands of transactions. Healthcare systems have been compromised through patient portal vulnerabilities, exposing millions of medical records when attackers injected UNION queries to merge data from supposedly isolated tables.
Mitigation
- Parameterized queries (prepared statements) — separates SQL logic from data, making injection syntactically impossible
- Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) frameworks — abstracts database interactions with built-in protections when used correctly
- Strict input validation — whitelist acceptable characters and formats, reject suspicious patterns
- Least privilege database accounts — applications should use credentials with minimal necessary permissions
- Web Application Firewall (WAF) — detects and blocks common injection patterns as a secondary defense layer
- Database activity monitoring — alerts on unusual query patterns or privilege escalation attempts

Wordfence reported the issue with a CVSS 7.5 (confidentiality-only impact); no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV.
Time-based blind SQL injection in the Read More & Accordion WordPress plugin (slug: expand-maker) through version 3.5.7 enables authenticated administrators to exfiltrate arbitrary database contents, including administrator password hashes, by manipulating the orderby GET parameter. The flaw exists in two data-retrieval functions in ReadMoreData.php, where user input bypasses effective sanitization and is concatenated unquoted into an ORDER BY SQL clause. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and this CVE is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, though the high-confidentiality CVSS impact (C:H) reflects genuine data-exposure potential.
Unauthenticated SQL injection in the Creative Mail - Easier WordPress & WooCommerce Email Marketing plugin (versions up to and including 1.6.9) allows remote attackers to append arbitrary SQL clauses through the 'checkout_uuid' parameter handled by the has_checkout_consent() method. The flaw stems from missing escaping and the absence of a prepared statement, enabling extraction of sensitive database contents from any WordPress site running the vulnerable plugin. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
SQL Injection in the Infility Global WordPress plugin (all versions through 2.15.16) allows authenticated attackers holding only a Subscriber-level account to append arbitrary SQL to existing database queries and extract sensitive information. The vulnerability originates in the show_control_data::post_list() function, which is registered as an admin menu page gated only by the 'read' capability - the lowest WordPress capability tier. With CVSS C:H and no integrity or availability impact, the primary real-world risk is wholesale database exfiltration on any site with open user registration. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and this CVE does not appear in the CISA KEV catalog.
SQL injection in Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager (VIOM) prior to v9.1.3 enables remote, unauthenticated attackers to escalate privileges via crafted requests. The vulnerability is network-accessible with no authentication or user interaction required, and SSVC scoring confirms it is automatable, lowering the bar for mass exploitation. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but the unauthenticated attack surface and automatable classification make this a meaningful exposure for any internet-facing VIOM deployment.
SQL injection in the Contest Gallery WordPress plugin (versions through 28.1.6) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to extract sensitive database contents by abusing the 'form_input' parameter handled by the 'post_cg_gallery_form_upload' AJAX action. The endpoint is gated only by a public nonce that is exposed in the page source of any public gallery page, effectively offering no protection against external attackers. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the issue was disclosed by Wordfence and affects a publicly reachable PHP endpoint.
SQL injection in the TYPO3 'address_list' extension's AddressRepository::getSqlQuery() method allows remote attackers to manipulate database queries when the method is called with untrusted input. The flaw is latent - the vulnerable method is not invoked anywhere within the extension itself, so default installations are not exposed, but custom or third-party extensions that reuse this method become injection sinks. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and no EPSS or KEV signal accompanies the advisory.
SQL injection in the TYPO3 'news' extension allows unauthenticated remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL through a URL parameter on pages that render the 'Date Menu of news articles' plugin. The flaw stems from missing sanitization of user input before it reaches a database query, and exposure is limited to sites that both use the affected plugin and have not enabled the TypoScript/plugin setting disableOverrideDemand. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.
SQL injection in BillaBear (all versions prior to January 2026) allows authenticated users holding the ROLE_ACCOUNT_MANAGER role to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the EventRepository component. The flaw stems from unsanitized filter identifier keys being concatenated into queries through sprintf(), and while no public exploit identified at time of analysis is listed in KEV, two CVE-referenced gists suggest detailed technical write-ups are publicly available. EPSS is very low (0.01%), but the high CVSS of 8.8 and clear exploitation path make this a meaningful risk for any deployed instance.

No active exploitation confirmed (not in CISA KEV), but the technical barrier is low given the straightforward injection point and admin access requirement.
SQL injection in Marten's PostgreSQL full-text search APIs allows remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary database commands when applications pass user-controlled input to the regConfig parameter. The vulnerability affects all five search method overloads (SearchAsync, PlainTextSearchAsync, PhraseSearchAsync, WebStyleSearchAsync, PrefixSearchAsync) where the regConfig parameter is interpolated directly into SQL without validation. Confirmed exploit payloads demonstrate time-based blind extraction, information disclosure via SELECT statements, and DDL execution including table drops. Vendor-released patch available in Marten 8.37.0 via GitHub PR #4343. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the advisory includes working proof-of-concept payloads for all affected methods.
SQL injection in n8n's Source Control feature allows attackers with git repository write access to execute arbitrary SQL against the PostgreSQL backend when administrators pull malicious Data Table JSON files. The vulnerability requires a specific attack chain: attacker git repository access, Source Control feature enabled, PostgreSQL backend, and admin-triggered pull operation. Vendor-released patches are available across all affected version branches (1.x, 2.20.x, 2.21.x). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the multi-prerequisite exploitation path significantly limits real-world attack surface to supply chain or insider threat scenarios.
SQL injection in PostgreSQL logical replication ALTER SUBSCRIPTION REFRESH PUBLICATION allows authenticated local or network users with table creation privileges to execute arbitrary SQL queries with the publication subscriber's credentials. The attack is deferred until the next REFRESH PUBLICATION command is executed, requiring user interaction or scheduled maintenance. PostgreSQL 16.x, 17.x, and 18.x versions prior to 16.14, 17.10, and 18.4 respectively are vulnerable; earlier versions are unaffected. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified.
Stack buffer overflow in PostgreSQL's refint module allows low-privileged database users to execute arbitrary code as the database operating system user across all supported versions before 14.23, 15.18, 16.14, 17.10, and 18.4. The vulnerability enables two distinct attack paths: direct stack overflow leading to OS-level code execution, and SQL injection when applications expose user-controlled columns configured as refint cascade primary keys. With CVSS 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L) and network-based exploitation requiring only low-privilege database credentials, this represents a critical privilege escalation risk for PostgreSQL deployments. No active exploitation (CISA KEV) or public POC identified at time of analysis.
SQL injection in PostgreSQL's pg_createsubscriber utility escalates privileges from pg_create_subscription to superuser, enabling arbitrary SQL execution. Affects PostgreSQL versions 17.0-17.9 and 18.0-18.3; exploitation requires high-privilege access (pg_create_subscription rights) but occurs remotely without additional complexity. Attack triggers when pg_createsubscriber next executes. Fixed in PostgreSQL 18.4 and 17.10. No CISA KEV listing or public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the technical simplicity (AC:L) and privilege escalation nature present moderate risk for multi-tenant or hosted PostgreSQL environments where subscription management permissions are delegated.
