This is achieved by exploiting the time-based blind <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ameeba.com\/blog\/cve-2025-32924-sql-injection-vulnerability-in-revy-by-roninwp\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"56864\">SQL Injection vulnerability<\/a>, where the attacker can send SQL queries that will cause the database to wait (or sleep) for a specified amount of time before responding. This delay in response can be used by the attacker to infer information about the database structure and data.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"ameeb-1826329555\" class=\"ameeb-content ameeb-entity-placement\"><div class=\"poptin-embedded\" data-id=\"f6b387694f681\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\n<p>This is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited.
