CVE-2026-78568: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in KlbTheme Total Donations
The Total Donations plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.5 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query.
