CVE-2025-14477
404 Solution <= 3.1.0 - Authenticated (Admin+) SQL Injection via 'filterText' Parameter
Description
The 404 Solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.0 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This is due to improper sanitization of the `filterText` parameter in the `ajaxUpdatePaginationLinks` AJAX action. The sanitization logic can be bypassed by using the sequence `*$/` which becomes `*/` after the `$` character is removed, allowing attackers to escape SQL comment contexts. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database via a time-based blind SQL injection technique.

Action Type Old Value New Value Added Translation Title: 404 Solution de aaron13100, Description: El plugin 404 Solution para WordPress es vulnerable a inyección SQL en todas las versiones hasta la 3.1.0, inclusive, debido a un escape insuficiente en el parámetro proporcionado por el usuario y la falta de preparación suficiente en la consulta SQL existente. Esto se debe a una sanitización incorrecta del parámetro 'filterText' en la acción AJAX 'ajaxUpdatePaginationLinks'. La lógica de sanitización puede ser eludida utilizando la secuencia '*$/' que se convierte en '*/' después de que se elimina el carácter '$', permitiendo a los atacantes escapar contextos de comentarios SQL. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de administrador o superior, añadan consultas SQL adicionales a consultas ya existentes que pueden ser utilizadas para extraer información sensible de la base de datos a través de una técnica de inyección SQL ciega basada en tiempo. -
