SQL Injection in Houzez Property Feed WordPress Plugin

Publication date: 2026-07-02

Last updated on: 2026-07-02

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The Houzez Property Feed plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'orderby' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.5.46 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query in the prepare_items() method of the Houzez_Property_Feed_Admin_Logs_Export_Table (and Houzez_Property_Feed_Admin_Logs_Import_Table) class. The user-controlled $_GET['orderby'] and $_GET['order'] values are filtered only with sanitize_text_field() and then concatenated into the SQL format string before $wpdb->prepare() is called — prepare() only parameterizes the appended LIMIT/OFFSET clause and cannot retroactively secure the already-tainted ORDER BY clause. 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.

CWE ID Description
CWE-89 The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.

Executive Summary

The Houzez Property Feed plugin for WordPress has a vulnerability in its 'orderby' parameter that allows SQL Injection. This happens because the plugin does not properly escape or prepare the user-supplied 'orderby' and 'order' parameters before including them in SQL queries. Specifically, these parameters are only filtered with sanitize_text_field() and then concatenated directly into the SQL query string. The prepare() method only secures the LIMIT/OFFSET part of the query and cannot protect the already tainted ORDER BY clause. As a result, an authenticated attacker with Administrator-level access or higher can inject additional SQL commands to extract sensitive information from the database.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow an attacker with administrator privileges to perform SQL Injection attacks, which can lead to unauthorized extraction of sensitive data from the database. Although the attacker must already have high-level access, they can exploit this flaw to gain access to information that should be protected, potentially compromising the confidentiality of the data stored by the plugin.
