WordPress db Injection: A Comprehensive Guide for Pen Testers and C-Suite

by

WordPress, which began as a simple blogging platform in 2003, has evolved into one of the most widely used content management systems (CMS) globally. Currently powering over 40% of websites, WordPress has become synonymous with digital publishing—ranging from small personal blogs to large-scale enterprise solutions. For many C-level executives, WordPress represents an agile, cost-effective solution to rapidly establish and manage an online presence.
However, with extensive adoption comes amplified risk. The same features that make WordPress easy to use—such as its vibrant plugin ecosystem and open-source nature—can also create ripe opportunities for attackers to exploit vulnerabilities. WordPress database injection, often referred to more broadly as SQL injection (SQLi), stands out as a critical concern. Attackers who successfully execute a database injection can gain unauthorised access to sensitive data, manipulate website content, or even pivot to other parts of the organisation’s network.
WordPress relies on a MySQL (or MariaDB) database to store content, user data, plugin settings, and other critical information. An SQL injection attack leverages insecure code or configurations to inject malicious SQL queries into the database, allowing attackers to read, modify, or even delete data, and in some extreme cases, compromise the server itself.

The HTTP Parameter Pollution (HPP): Protecting Web Applications with Robust Security Practices

by

HTTP Parameter Pollution, or HPP, is a type of web security vulnerability where an attacker manipulates HTTP request parameters to bypass input validation, inject malicious payloads, or alter the intended behaviour of a web application. By injecting additional parameters or manipulating existing ones, attackers can trick the server into processing unintended actions. This form of attack can lead to a range of exploits, including SQL injections, cross-site scripting (XSS), and even unauthorised access.

Content Security Policy (CSP) Bypass: Safeguarding Business Assets from Exploitation

by

A Content Security Policy is akin to a ‘content filter’ for websites, allowing only specified, trusted sources to load and execute content. By defining a set of rules that control the origins from which resources can be loaded, CSP prevents attackers from injecting or executing harmful code within a web page. Without strict CSP enforcement, attackers can exploit vulnerabilities to exfiltrate sensitive data, capture keystrokes, or redirect users to phishing sites.

Form jacking: The Silent Threat to MSMEs

by

Formjacking is a sophisticated cybercrime where malicious code is injected into e-commerce websites to rob payment card details. Attackers target online forms, such as checkout pages, to capture sensitive information as customers enter. Once compromised, this data is transmitted to the attacker, leaving businesses and customers vulnerable to financial loss and reputational damage.
