Source record

Technical description

WordPress before 2.0.6, when mbstring is enabled for PHP, decodes alternate character sets after escaping the SQL query, which allows remote attackers to bypass SQL injection protection schemes and execute arbitrary SQL commands via multibyte charsets, as demonstrated using UTF-7.

NVD vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
