$wpdb->update vs $wpdb->query->prepare

  • Hi,

    My plugin (https://ostenta.fr/yawpp/index_en.html) has been temporarily withdrawn due to a security issue. (SQL injection)

    I tried to fix it but I recieved a new mail because I wasn’t using prepare() to update rows in the DB.

    Actualy, I’m using update() function.

    What is the best way to update a rows?

    You might want to ask for clarification. You do not use $wpdb->prepare() before using $wpdb->update(). The final line of the update method is:
    return $this->query( $this->prepare( $sql, array_merge( array_values( $data ), array_values( $where ) ) ) );

    In plain language, $wpdb->update() calls $wpdb->prepare() for you. If you used prepare as well, the data would be double escaped.
