I feel like I've seen plenty of non-AI, pre-2020 SAST tools catch SQLis like the one mentioned here, and if nothing else, then a code review ought to catch it. Is WordPress not using code reviews and/or SAST?

They would not catch it, it requires combining multiple vulns.
I just meant the SQLi (which is the basis of the chain), not the full chain.
There is likely thousands of such SQL concatenations throughout the codebase. The issue with traditional SAST tools is that they can't readon about context.
