WordPress · Rtmedia · CVE-2026-15287
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress versions prior to 4.6.19
**Description**
The plugin is subject to time-based SQL Injection, a technique where an attacker sends a query that forces the database to wait a specific amount of time before responding, allowing them to infer data. This occurs due to insufficient escaping of user-supplied input and lack of proper preparation of the SQL query. Authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access or higher can manipulate the `order by` parameter to append malicious SQL queries and extract sensitive information from the database.
**Recommendations**
Update rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress to version 4.6.19 or later.
As a temporary mitigation, restrict access to the functionality utilizing the `order by` parameter for users with subscriber-level permissions.
