CVE-2026-16482: rtMedia exposes blind SQL injection through shortcode requests

rtMedia through 4.7.11 permits unauthenticated time-based blind SQL injection through the nested compare parameter. On a public page containing an rtMedia shortcode, setting rtmedia_shortcode causes RTMediaQuery::query() to merge request data while checking only top-level keys, allowing compare to reach an unprepared query and disclose database information.
