CVE-2026-5073: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in armember ARMember Premium – Membership Plugin, Content Restriction, Member Levels, User Profile & User signup
The ARMember Premium plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'order' parameter of the 'arm_directory_paging_action' AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 7.3.1. This is due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied 'order' and 'orderby' parameters and the lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query in the `arm_get_directory_members()` 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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The ARMember Premium plugin for WordPress contains an SQL Injection vulnerability (CWE-89) due to improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands. Specifically, the 'order' and 'orderby' parameters used in the 'arm_directory_paging_action' AJAX action are not properly escaped or prepared in the arm_get_directory_members() function. This allows unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries to existing ones, potentially extracting sensitive data from the database. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.5, reflecting a network attack vector with low complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and high confidentiality impact without affecting integrity or availability. No patch or official remediation level has been published as of the provided data.
Potential Impact
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability remotely without authentication to perform SQL Injection attacks, potentially extracting sensitive information from the WordPress site's database. The impact is limited to confidentiality as integrity and availability are not affected. This could lead to data disclosure risks for sites using the affected plugin versions.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, consider disabling or restricting access to the vulnerable AJAX action if possible, or applying temporary workarounds recommended by the vendor once available. Monitor official ARMember and WordPress security channels for updates.
