VulnerabilityCVE-2026-15275cvecve-2026-15275cwe-89
Published: 09/18/2026 (09/18/2026, 07:40:04 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: wpexpertsio
Product: WP Multi Store Locator Pro

Description

The WP Multi Store Locator Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'store_locatore_search_radius' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.1 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. The injection occurs in a numeric, unquoted SQL context, meaning WordPress's wp_magic_quotes() addslashes-based protection cannot neutralize the payload, and the AJAX handler is registered on wp_ajax_nopriv_make_search_request with no nonce or capability check, making it fully accessible without authentication.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-15275 describes a SQL Injection vulnerability in the WP Multi Store Locator Pro WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 4.5.1). The flaw is due to improper neutralization of special elements in the 'store_locatore_search_radius' parameter, which is used in an unquoted numeric SQL context without sufficient escaping or prepared statements. The AJAX handler 'wp_ajax_nopriv_make_search_request' is exposed without authentication or nonce checks, enabling unauthenticated attackers to inject additional SQL commands and potentially extract sensitive data from the database. WordPress's wp_magic_quotes() addslashes-based protection does not mitigate this issue due to the numeric context of the injection.

Potential Impact

An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform SQL Injection attacks, allowing them to extract sensitive information from the database. The vulnerability does not impact integrity or availability but has a high confidentiality impact. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict access to the vulnerable AJAX endpoint if possible or implement custom filtering and validation on the 'store_locatore_search_radius' parameter to prevent injection. Monitor vendor channels for official patches or updates.
