WordPress Core < 2.0.7 - SQL Injection

8.8
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')
CVE CVE-2007-0233
CVSS 8.8 (High)
Publicly Published January 15, 2007
Last Updated January 22, 2024

Description

wp-trackback.php in WordPress 2.0.6 and earlier does not properly unset variables when the input data includes a numeric parameter with a value matching an alphanumeric parameter's hash value, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the tb_id parameter. NOTE: it could be argued that this vulnerability is due to a bug in the unset PHP command (CVE-2006-3017) and the proper fix should be in PHP; if so, then this should not be treated as a vulnerability in WordPress.
