-

This is a security advisory for a vulnerability that has been assigned a CVE identifier but has not been publicly disclosed by the vendor. This information is intended for security researchers, system administrators, and the public to promote awareness and responsible disclosure.

SQL Injection in InfiniteWP Admin Panel (CVE-2024-22506)

Date of Announcement: September 29, 2025

Overview

A time-based SQL Injection vulnerability has been identified in the InfiniteWP Admin Panel, a web application for managing WordPress installations. This vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2024-22506, allows an attacker to manipulate the application's database by injecting malicious SQL queries.

Vulnerability Details

CVE ID CVE-2024-22506
Vulnerability Type Time-Based SQL Injection
Affected Software InfiniteWP Admin Panel
Vulnerable Parameter appInstallHash

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted POST request with a malicious SQL payload in the appInstallHash parameter. The use of a time-delay function, such as sleep(), can cause the application to pause, confirming the presence of the vulnerability.

Impact

Time-based SQL injection attacks can have severe consequences, including:

  • Data Extraction: Attackers can potentially exfiltrate sensitive data from the application's database.
  • Denial of Service (DoS): The time delay can disrupt the application's normal functioning, leading to a denial of service for legitimate users.
  • Vulnerability Confirmation: The technique can be used to confirm the presence of SQL injection vulnerabilities, which can then be exploited further.

Recommendations

As of the date of this announcement, a patch has not been released by the vendor. We recommend the following actions to mitigate the risk:

  • Use Prepared Statements: Implement parameterized queries to prevent the injection of malicious SQL.
  • Input Validation: Sanitize and validate all user-supplied input to ensure it conforms to the expected format.
  • Least Privilege: Ensure the application's database user has the minimum necessary permissions.
