This weakness is CWE\u201189 and permits authenticated attackers with Contributor\u2011level or higher permissions to inject and execute arbitrary SQL clauses in existing queries. Successful exploitation enables the attacker to read privileged database data, potentially exposing user credentials, email lists and other sensitive information. The likely attack vector is via the plugin\u2019s shortcode URL where the orderby value is passed by an authenticated user.", "risk_and_exploitability": "The CVSS score of 6.5 indicates moderate severity. Combined with an EPSS score of less than 1\u202f% and the fact that the flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, the current external exploitation risk is low, but vulnerable installations remain at risk if an attacker gains Contributor\u2011level access. The exploitation requires web\u2011based interaction with the plugin\u2019s shortcode and authenticated access, making it less likely to be leveraged by random attackers but still a meaningful threat to sites with such user roles."}}}}, "created": "2026-04-21T21:00:36.006114+00:00", "updated": "2026-04-21T21:00:36.006130+00:00", "vendors": []}
