Last revised:
If logged in as an administrator on any site, you can go to Settings > Relevanssi Premium and potentially extract all values in the database including password hashes and user activation tokens.
This is achieved by a SQL injection based on the fact that some of the configuration options are appended into a SQL query in a unsafe way.
The configuration page contains the following code, that allows the user to set the option relevanssi_post_type_weights to any value:
function update_relevanssi_options() { .... foreach ($_REQUEST as $key => $value) { if (substr($key, 0, strlen('relevanssi_weight_')) == 'relevanssi_weight_') { $type = substr($key, strlen('relevanssi_weight_')); $post_type_weights[$type] = $value; } .... } if (count($post_type_weights) > 0) { update_option('relevanssi_post_type_weights', $post_type_weights); } .... }
Now when a search is made, the function relevanssi_search is called, this appends the user controled value into the SQL query:
$post_type_weights = get_option('relevanssi_post_type_weights'); ... !empty($post_type_weights['post_tag']) ? $tag = $post_type_weights['post_tag'] : $tag = $relevanssi_variables['post_type_weight_defaults']['post_tag']; !empty($post_type_weights['category']) ? $cat = $post_type_weights['category'] : $cat = $relevanssi_variables['post_type_weight_defaults']['category']; $query = "SELECT relevanssi.*, relevanssi.title * $title_boost + relevanssi.content + relevanssi.comment * $comment_boost + relevanssi.tag * $tag + relevanssi.link * $link_boost + relevanssi.author + relevanssi.category * $cat + relevanssi.excerpt + relevanssi.taxonomy + relevanssi.customfield + relevanssi.mysqlcolumn AS tf FROM $relevanssi_table AS relevanssi $query_join WHERE $term_cond $query_restrictions";

Upgrade to version 3.6.1 or later.
