CVE-2026-84097: CWE-89 SQL Injection in wp-review-slider-pro
The wp-review-slider-pro WordPress plugin before 12.7.12 does not sanitize a value stored through one of its AJAX handlers, which lacks a capability check, before using it in a SQL statement, allowing any authenticated user, such as a subscriber, to perform SQL injection attacks whose results are then returned to unauthenticated visitors.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-84097 describes a SQL injection vulnerability in the wp-review-slider-pro WordPress plugin prior to version 12.7.12. The flaw arises from improper sanitization of a value stored via an AJAX handler that also lacks a capability check, enabling any authenticated user to perform SQL injection attacks. The injected SQL query results are subsequently exposed to unauthenticated visitors, potentially leaking sensitive data.
Potential Impact
An attacker with any authenticated user account, including low-privilege roles such as subscribers, can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary SQL queries on the backend database. This can lead to unauthorized data disclosure, data manipulation, or other impacts depending on the database and application context. The exposure of query results to unauthenticated visitors increases the risk of data leakage.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade the wp-review-slider-pro plugin to version 12.7.12 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. The vendor advisory confirms that versions before 12.7.12 are affected and the issue is resolved in 12.7.12. Until upgrading, restrict authenticated user roles to trusted users and monitor for suspicious activity related to AJAX requests.
