CVE-2026-13333: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in trainingbusinesspros Groundhogg — CRM, Newsletters, and Marketing Automation
The Groundhogg — CRM, Newsletters, and Marketing Automation plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via 'query[select]' Parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.5 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Sales Representative-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. The sanitized Contact_Query code path can be bypassed by supplying an invalid filter type (e.g., query[filters][0][0][type]=invalid_filter_nonexistent), causing a FilterException to be caught and execution to fall through to the unsanitized Legacy_Contact_Query path.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-13333 describes an SQL Injection vulnerability in the Groundhogg WordPress plugin (versions <=4.5.5). The issue arises because the 'query[select]' parameter is not properly escaped, and the sanitized Contact_Query path can be bypassed by supplying an invalid filter type, causing execution to fall back to an unsanitized legacy query path. This enables authenticated attackers with Sales Representative-level privileges or higher to append SQL commands to existing queries, potentially extracting sensitive data from the database. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5, indicating medium severity. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently documented.
Potential Impact
An attacker with authenticated access at Sales Representative level or above can exploit this vulnerability to perform SQL Injection attacks, allowing unauthorized reading of sensitive information from the database. The vulnerability does not impact data integrity or availability but compromises confidentiality by exposing sensitive data.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict user roles to limit access to Sales Representative-level permissions and above, and monitor for unusual database query activity related to the 'query[select]' parameter. Avoid supplying invalid filter types that trigger fallback to the unsanitized legacy query path.
