CVE-2026-4661: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in blendmedia WP CTA – Call Now Button, Sticky Button & Call to Action Builder
The WP CTA – Sticky CTA Builder, Generate Leads, Promote Sales plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based blind SQL Injection via the 'fildname' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.2. This is due to insufficient escaping of user-supplied column names in the ajaxCheck() method and lack of preparation in the $wpdb->update() call. The vulnerability is compounded by the complete absence of authorization checks and the endpoint being registered for unauthenticated users via wp_ajax_nopriv_. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary SQL queries and extract sensitive information from the database via time-based blind SQL injection techniques, including administrator password hashes.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-4661 is a high-severity SQL Injection vulnerability affecting the WP CTA – Call Now Button, Sticky Button & Call to Action Builder WordPress plugin up to version 2.2.2. The issue is due to improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands (CWE-89) via the 'fildname' parameter in the ajaxCheck() method. The plugin fails to properly escape user-supplied column names and does not prepare the $wpdb->update() call securely. Additionally, the affected AJAX endpoint is accessible to unauthenticated users (registered via wp_ajax_nopriv_) and lacks authorization checks, enabling attackers to perform time-based blind SQL injection attacks to extract sensitive database information, including administrator password hashes.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform time-based blind SQL injection attacks, allowing extraction of sensitive information from the database such as administrator password hashes. This compromises the confidentiality of the affected WordPress site’s data. The vulnerability does not impact integrity or availability directly but poses a significant risk to data confidentiality.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the vulnerable AJAX endpoint if possible and monitor for suspicious activity. Avoid using affected versions (<=2.2.2) of the plugin in production environments. Follow vendor updates closely for an official patch or mitigation.
