id: CVE-2026-56070

info:
  name: Advance Product Search <= 1.4.4 - Unauthenticated Time-Based Blind SQL Injection
  author: Abdullah Shahid (comradezephyr)
  severity: critical
  description: |
    Advance Product Search 1.4.4 and earlier is vulnerable to unauthenticated time-based blind SQL injection. The plugin rebuilds the WordPress search SQL by hand and uses $wpdb->esc_like() which escapes LIKE wildcards but not single quotes, allowing injection through the ?s= parameter.
  impact: |
    Unauthenticated attackers can execute arbitrary SQL commands, potentially leading to data disclosure or modification.
  remediation: |
    Update to the latest version beyond 1.4.4.
