CVE-2026-4352: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in Crocoblock JetEngine
Crocoblock JetEngine plugin for WordPress versions up to 3. 8. 6. 1 contains an SQL Injection vulnerability in the Custom Content Type REST API search endpoint. The vulnerability arises because the _cct_search parameter is directly interpolated into a SQL query without proper sanitization or use of prepared statements. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject SQL commands and potentially extract sensitive database information. Exploitation requires the Custom Content Types module to be enabled with at least one public REST GET endpoint configured. No official patch or remediation guidance has been provided yet.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The JetEngine WordPress plugin is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the _cct_search parameter in the Custom Content Type REST API search endpoint. The parameter is inserted into SQL queries using sprintf() without sanitization or $wpdb->prepare(), and WordPress REST API's wp_unslash() removes magic quotes protection, enabling single-quote-based injection. This allows unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries to extract sensitive data from the database. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 3.8.6.1 and requires the Custom Content Types module with a public REST GET endpoint to be exploitable.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information from the WordPress database. The vulnerability does not impact integrity or availability but poses a high confidentiality risk due to SQL Injection allowing data extraction. No known exploits in the wild have been reported at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, consider disabling the Custom Content Types module or restricting access to the REST API endpoints to trusted users to reduce exposure.
