The GamiPress – Gamification plugin to reward points, achievements, badges & ranks in WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the ‘orderby’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 7.3.1 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. NOTE: This vulnerability was previously published as being fixed in version 7.2.2 which was incorrect. The correct fixed version is 7.3.2.

→Exploitation is unauthenticated — no session or privilege required. Flag any anomalous 'orderby' parameter values from unauthenticated sessions against GamiPress REST/AJAX endpoints.
→Nuclei/automated scanner fingerprinting: probe responses returning HTTP 200 with Content-Type 'application/json' and body containing 'success":true' alongside a nonce value indicate a vulnerable GamiPress instance being actively probed.
→Nonce extraction regex used by exploit tooling to harvest CSRF tokens from GamiPress responses: match '"nonce":"([0-9a-z]+)"' in HTTP response bodies.
→Affected versions are GamiPress <= 7.3.1; version 7.3.2 is the correct fix. Flag installations running versions up to and including 7.3.1.

·The fixed version was previously mis-reported as 7.2.2; detection/patching logic must use 7.3.2 as the correct remediation boundary. ↗
