CVE-2026-15272 Details
Description
The Web 2.0 Directory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the 'w2dc_level_filter' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.10.12 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. Because the parameter is used in integer context without surrounding quotes, WordPress's built-in addslashes/magic_quotes escaping provides no protection against time-based payloads such as SLEEP-based conditionals.
A time-based SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in the Web 2.0 Directory plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 2.10.12. The vulnerability arises from inadequate escaping of user-supplied parameters in the 'w2dc_level_filter' parameter, coupled with a lack of proper preparation in the SQL query. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to inject additional SQL queries into existing ones, potentially leading to the extraction of sensitive database information. The vulnerability is particularly concerning because the parameter is treated as an integer without quotes, rendering WordPress's default escaping mechanisms ineffective against time-based payloads that rely on conditional delays.
