CVE-2026-16087: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in icegram Icegram Engage – Popups, Optins, CTAs & Lead Generation
The Icegram Engage – Popups, Optins, CTAs & Lead Generation plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to second-order SQL Injection via 'messages[][id]' Parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.42 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 contributor-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 injection is second-order: the malicious id value is first persisted to post meta via the save_campaign_preview() AJAX action (gated by a nonce check and edit_post capability, requiring Editor-level access or above), and only executed as SQL when a subsequent preview request triggers get_message_data() to interpolate the stored value directly into a SQL IN() clause without $wpdb->prepare() or integer casting.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Icegram Engage WordPress plugin is vulnerable to a second-order SQL Injection through the 'messages[][id]' parameter. The flaw arises because the plugin insufficiently escapes user input and fails to prepare SQL queries properly. An attacker with contributor-level or higher privileges can inject SQL via the save_campaign_preview() AJAX action, which stores the malicious input in post meta. Later, when get_message_data() executes, it interpolates this stored value directly into a SQL IN() clause without using $wpdb->prepare() or integer casting, enabling unauthorized data extraction from the database.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level or higher access can exploit this vulnerability to extract sensitive information from the database by injecting additional SQL queries. The vulnerability does not allow privilege escalation or denial of service but compromises data confidentiality. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.5 (medium severity), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and limited privileges required.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict contributor-level access and above to trusted users only. Monitor for updates from the vendor and apply patches promptly once released.
