Recommendation: Monitor — no exploitation signal at the moment.

wpForo 2.4.14 contains an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in Topics::get_topics() where the ORDER BY clause relies on ineffective esc_sql() sanitization on unquoted identifiers. Attackers exploit the wpfob parameter with CASE WHEN payloads to perform blind boolean extraction of credentials from the WordPress database.
