The patch shown in

prompted me to try a

$ grep -r "\=\ \%s\"" *

in the web root of a WordPress installation. The matches are a bunch of
possible SQL injections. Haven't checked the actual code paths,

This turned out to a wild goose chase: For all matches the substituted
strings are being quoted via wpdb->prepare().

Regard,
Leonard.
