CVE-2026-2993: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in wupsales AI Chatbot & Workflow Automation by AIWU
The AI Chatbot & Workflow Automation by AIWU plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection in versions up to, and including, 1.4.17 due to insufficient escaping on user supplied parameters and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query in the getListForTbl() function. 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. NOTE: This issue is partially mitigated by a patch in version 1.4.11 that adds a nonce check for a nonce that is only available to administrators.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-2993 is an SQL Injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in the AI Chatbot & Workflow Automation by AIWU WordPress plugin affecting versions up to 1.4.17. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands within the getListForTbl() function, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject additional SQL queries. A partial mitigation was implemented in version 1.4.11 by adding a nonce check accessible only to administrators, but this does not fully resolve the issue for all users. No official patch or remediation level is confirmed beyond this partial fix.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive information from the plugin's database by injecting SQL commands. The vulnerability does not impact integrity or availability but compromises confidentiality. There are no known exploits in the wild as of the published date.
Mitigation Recommendations
A partial mitigation exists in version 1.4.11 that adds a nonce check for administrators, but this does not fully mitigate the vulnerability for unauthenticated users. No official full patch or remediation has been confirmed. Users should monitor the vendor advisory for updates and consider restricting access or disabling the plugin until a complete fix is released.
