CVE-2026-94298: CWE-89 SQL Injection in BuildKit
The BuildKit WordPress plugin before 1.0.29 does not properly sanitise and escape data submitted by contributor-level users before storing it and later using it in a SQL query, allowing a Contributor to inject SQL that runs against the database once the resulting content is published and viewed by any unauthenticated visitor.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-94298 is an SQL injection vulnerability in the BuildKit WordPress plugin prior to version 1.0.29. The flaw arises because data submitted by contributor-level users is not properly sanitized or escaped before being stored and subsequently used in SQL queries. When the content containing the injected SQL is published and accessed by unauthenticated visitors, the injected SQL commands execute against the database. This vulnerability affects versions >=0 and <1.0.29 of BuildKit.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level privileges can inject arbitrary SQL commands into the database. These commands execute when the content is published and viewed by unauthenticated visitors, potentially leading to unauthorized data access or manipulation. The vulnerability could allow attackers to compromise the integrity and confidentiality of the database.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade the BuildKit plugin to version 1.0.29 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation guidance is provided. Since this is a plugin vulnerability, patching to the fixed version is the recommended action.
