An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-24140 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Ajax Load More. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24140/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24140/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-24140","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24140/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-24140","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w9hc-cq6j-8gqw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can execute arbitrary SQL commands via the repeater parameter in the Ajax Load More WordPress plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"sql_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"ajax_load_more","vendor":"connekthq"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-89","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command"}],"description":"Unvalidated input in the Ajax Load More WordPress plugin, versions before 5.3.2, lead to SQL Injection in POST /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php with param repeater=' or sleep(5)#\u0026type=test.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Ajax Load More \u003c 5.3.2 - Authenticated SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2021-24140","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"sql_injection","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Advanced Database Cleaner \u003c 3.0.2 - Authenticated SQL injection","id":"CVE-2021-24141"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Photo Gallery by 10Web \u003c 1.5.55 - Unauthenticated SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2021-24139"},"products":["Ajax Load More"],"published":"2021-03-18","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Ajax Load More \u003c 2.8.1.2 - Subscriber+ File Upload \u0026 Deletion","id":"CVE-2015-10140","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-07-22"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"WordPress Infinite Scroll – Ajax Load More \u003c= 5.5.3 - Cross-Site Request Forgery to PHAR Deserialization","id":"CVE-2022-2433","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-09-06"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"WordPress Ajax Load More plugin \u003c= 7.3.1.2 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-47630","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-05-07"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"WordPress Ajax Load More Plugin \u003c= 6.1.0.1 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-50874","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-28"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Ajax Load More – Infinite Scroll, Load More, \u0026 Lazy Load","id":"CVE-2024-8505","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-10-02"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"WordPress Infinite Scroll – Ajax Load More \u003c= 7.1.1 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2024-4711","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-01"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-03","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Authenticated attackers can execute arbitrary SQL commands via the repeater parameter in the Ajax Load More WordPress plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24140/"}
