WPBot AI ChatBot < 8.5.2 - Admin+ Second-Order SQL Injection via qc_bot_str_fields
Publisher and source text is retained separately from QFinch interpretation.
QFinch assessment
The WPBot WordPress plugin before 8.5.2 does not validate administrator-configured field identifiers before using them in a SQL query, allowing users with administrator access to perform SQL injection that executes when a visitor triggers a search.
