WordPress 的 WP Directory Kit 插件在所有 1.5.9 及更早版本中，存在一个基于时间的 SQL 注入漏洞，该漏洞出现在“display_name”个人资料字段（第二阶注入）中。原因是用户提供的参数缺乏足够的转义处理，且现有 SQL 查询中缺乏足够的预处理机制。这使得拥有订阅者（Subscriber）及以上权限的认证攻击者能够向已存在的 SQL 查询中附加额外的 SQL 查询，从而从数据库中提取敏感信息。 这是一个第二阶注入漏洞：订阅者可以通过自己的个人资料页面存储一个包含单引号的 ，而

Vulnerability Title
WP Directory Kit <= 1.5.9 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) SQL Injection via 'display_name' Profile Field (Second-Order)
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
The WP Directory Kit plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via 'display_name' Profile Field (Second-Order) in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.9 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. This is a second-order injection: a Subscriber stores a display_name containing a single quote via their own profile, which WordPress preserves verbatim; the payload is then triggered when WdkCachedUserEditor::update_listings_user_editor() re-reads that stored value and passes it unsanitized to the SQL sink.
