The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 6.5, indicating a medium severity risk. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently provided by the vendor.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Dokan Pro plugin for WordPress suffers from a time-based SQL Injection vulnerability in the 'orderby' parameter in all versions up to and including 5.0.4. The root cause is insufficient escaping of user-supplied input and lack of proper SQL query preparation, allowing authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level privileges or higher to inject additional SQL commands. This can lead to unauthorized extraction of sensitive data from the database. The vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2026-12079 with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N). There is no vendor advisory or patch information available at this time.
Potential Impact
An attacker with at least Subscriber-level access can exploit this vulnerability to perform time-based SQL Injection attacks, enabling unauthorized extraction of sensitive information from the database. The vulnerability does not impact integrity or availability but has a high confidentiality impact. No known exploits are reported in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict Subscriber-level access where possible and monitor for suspicious activity related to SQL query manipulation. Avoid relying solely on user input in the 'orderby' parameter without proper sanitization.
