CVE-2026-2416: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in cyberhobo Geo Mashup
The Geo Mashup plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'sort' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.13.17. This is 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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-2416 is an SQL Injection vulnerability in the Geo Mashup plugin for WordPress affecting all versions up to 1.13.17. The issue arises from improper neutralization of special elements in the 'sort' parameter, allowing unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries to existing ones. This occurs because user input is not sufficiently escaped or prepared before inclusion in SQL statements, potentially enabling extraction of sensitive database information. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-89 and has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5, indicating high severity. No patch or official fix is currently documented, and the product is not a cloud service.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated attackers to perform SQL Injection via the 'sort' parameter, potentially extracting sensitive information from the database. The vulnerability does not impact integrity or availability directly but compromises confidentiality. There are no known active exploits in the wild as of the published date.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, users should consider disabling or restricting access to the vulnerable parameter or plugin. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
