Beardev vulnerabilities and threats

JoomSport plugin for WordPress versions up to 5.7.14 contains a SQL Injection vulnerability in the 'pgroup' parameter. Authenticated users with contributor-level access can exploit this by embedding a malicious shortcode in a post and previewing it, allowing extraction of sensitive database information.

The JoomSport – for Sports: Team & League, Football, Hockey & more plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'team_id' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.7.11 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. The vulnerable code path is reached when the season has no associated joomsport_tournament term, which is the default state for newly created seasons.

JoomSport – for Sports: Team & League, Football, Hockey & more WordPress plugin versions up to and including 5.7.9 contain a time-based SQL Injection vulnerability via the 'order' parameter. This vulnerability arises from insufficient escaping of user input and lack of query preparation. It can be exploited by attackers with administrator-level access or higher. The affected admin page lacks nonce or CSRF protection on the GET request, enabling unauthenticated attackers to trick administrators into executing malicious requests. The vulnerability requires the 'orderby' parameter to be present and non-empty alongside 'order'.

The JoomSport – for Sports: Team & League, Football, Hockey & more plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via 'event' Shortcode Attribute in all versions up to, and including, 5.7.9 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. The shortcode can be embedded in posts or pages by Contributor-level users, making this exploitable by any authenticated user with at least that role.

The JoomSport – for Sports: Team & League, Football, Hockey & more plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 5.7.8. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to create arbitrary season groups or modify existing group names, participants, and round-type options. Exploitation requires obtaining the joomsportajaxnonce, which is exposed on frontend pages that render a JoomSport shortcode.

The JoomSport – for Sports: Team & League, Football, Hockey & more plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization to Arbitrary Group Deletion in versions up to, and including, 5.7.8. This is due to a missing capability check in the joomsport_season_groupdel() AJAX handler, which only verifies a nonce before executing a DELETE query on attacker-supplied group IDs. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to delete arbitrary JoomSport group records.

CVE-2026-42647 is a critical SQL Injection vulnerability in Beardev JoomSport affecting versions up to and including 5.7.7. It allows an attacker to perform Blind SQL Injection due to improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands. The vulnerability has a high CVSS score of 9.3, indicating critical severity with high confidentiality impact and low attack complexity. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently available from the vendor.

The JoomSport – for Sports: Team & League, Football, Hockey & more plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based blind SQL Injection via the 'sortf' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.7.7 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. 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.

The JoomSport – for Sports: Team & League, Football, Hockey & more plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 5.7.3 via the task parameter. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to include and execute arbitrary .php files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where .php file types can be uploaded and included.

The JoomSport – for Sports: Team & League, Football, Hockey & more plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘page parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.6.17 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
