CVE-2026-14029: 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 the 'select' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.8 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 custom-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. Exploitation requires the attacker to hold a Groundhogg custom role with the view_contacts capability, which is granted by default to several built-in Groundhogg roles above the base subscriber level.

Technical Summary
CVE-2026-14029 describes an SQL Injection vulnerability in the Groundhogg WordPress plugin (CRM, Newsletters, and Marketing Automation) affecting all versions up to and including 4.5.8. The issue is due to improper neutralization of special elements in the 'select' parameter, allowing authenticated attackers with custom-level access and the view_contacts capability to inject additional SQL commands. This capability is granted by default to several built-in Groundhogg roles above the base subscriber level. The vulnerability enables extraction of sensitive database information without impacting integrity or availability.
Potential Impact
An attacker with authenticated access and the required capability can extract sensitive information from the database by injecting SQL commands via the vulnerable 'select' parameter. The vulnerability does not affect data integrity or availability but compromises confidentiality. Exploitation requires at least custom-level privileges within Groundhogg, limiting the attack surface to authenticated users with elevated roles.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict assignment of the view_contacts capability to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity from users with custom-level access or higher. Avoid granting unnecessary privileges that include the view_contacts capability.
