Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in Wordpress before 2.2.3 and Wordpress multi-user (MU) before 1.2.5a allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the post_type parameter to the pingback.extensions.getPingbacks method in the XMLRPC interface, and other unspecified parameters related to "early database escaping" and missing validation of "query string like parameters."
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.
