Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: taskbuilder
Product: Taskbuilder – Project Management & Task Management Tool With Kanban Board

Description

The Taskbuilder – Project Management & Task Management Tool With Kanban Board plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'wppm_proj_filter' parameter in versions up to, and including, 5.0.9. This is due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied parameter and the lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query — the value is re-read at line 144 using only sanitize_text_field() (overwriting the earlier absint() result), then concatenated into the SQL WHERE clause as an unquoted numeric operand using only esc_sql(), which does not protect against injection in that context, and finally string-interpolated into the $wpdb->prepare() format string, bypassing parameterization entirely. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-15267 describes an SQL Injection vulnerability in the Taskbuilder – Project Management & Task Management Tool With Kanban Board WordPress plugin. The issue stems from insufficient escaping of the 'wppm_proj_filter' parameter, which is sanitized using sanitize_text_field() and esc_sql() but then improperly concatenated into a SQL WHERE clause as an unquoted numeric operand. This bypasses the intended parameterization of $wpdb->prepare(), enabling attackers with subscriber-level privileges to append arbitrary SQL queries. This vulnerability affects versions up to and including 5.0.9. There is no vendor advisory or patch information available at this time.

Potential Impact

An authenticated attacker with subscriber-level access or higher can exploit this vulnerability to perform SQL Injection attacks, potentially extracting sensitive information from the database. The vulnerability does not impact integrity or availability directly but poses a confidentiality risk by allowing unauthorized data disclosure.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict subscriber-level user privileges where possible and monitor for unusual database activity related to the 'wppm_proj_filter' parameter. Avoid relying solely on sanitize_text_field() and esc_sql() for SQL query construction in this context.
