CVE-2026-7048: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in 10web Photo Gallery by 10Web – Mobile-Friendly Image Gallery
The Photo Gallery by 10Web – Mobile-Friendly Image Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based blind SQL Injection via the 'order_by' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.8.40 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. This is exploitable by embedding a malicious shortcode in a post or draft, allowing the injected SQL to execute when the shortcode is rendered.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Photo Gallery by 10Web plugin for WordPress suffers from a time-based blind SQL Injection vulnerability in the 'order_by' parameter. This vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands (CWE-89), specifically due to insufficient escaping and lack of prepared statements. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level privileges can exploit this by embedding malicious shortcodes in posts or drafts, causing injected SQL queries to execute when the shortcode is rendered. This enables extraction of sensitive data from the database without elevating privileges beyond contributor access.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated user with contributor-level access or higher to perform time-based blind SQL Injection attacks. This can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information stored in the database. The vulnerability does not impact integrity or availability directly but compromises confidentiality. There are no known exploits in the wild 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, restrict contributor-level access carefully and avoid using untrusted shortcodes in posts or drafts. Monitor for updates from 10Web regarding patches or official mitigations.
