Exploitation Conditions

The SQL injection requires the attacker to be authenticated to the target WordPress site with administrator privileges or higher (PR:H), and to reach the vulnerable reports functionality (class_rm_reports_service.php) where a user-supplied parameter is insufficiently escaped and the SQL query is not properly prepared; it affects all RegistrationMagic versions up to and including 6.0.6.2. The secondary reflected XSS requires NO authentication but depends on a crafted User-Agent header supplied during form submission being later rendered to a victim, so it is gated by that reflection path and victim interaction rather than by privileges. Limiting factors: the high administrator privilege requirement sharply constrains the SQLi to insider or post-compromise scenarios, while the XSS is bounded to the reflected form-submission context.

Impact

The primary SQL injection carries CVSS 7.2 but its real-world priority is materially lower than that number implies because the CVSS vector itself specifies PR:H - exploitation requires an already-authenticated administrator (or higher). An administrator on a WordPress site already has extensive privileged access, so the incremental risk of the SQLi is limited to pivoting from application-level admin to raw database access; it is not a path for an external, unprivileged attacker. The signals are consistent rather than conflicting: EPSS is low (0.41%, 33rd percentile), there is no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit identified, which aligns with the high privilege barrier. The genuinely more exposed element is the secondary reflected XSS, which the description states can be triggered by an UNAUTHENTICATED attacker via a crafted User-Agent header on form submission - however, the provided CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N) describes the SQLi path only and does NOT model the unauthenticated XSS, so the single 7.2 score understates the unauth XSS reachability while overstating the practical severity of the admin-only SQLi. Net assessment: not an urgent, widely-exploitable priority; treat as a routine-to-moderate patch item, prioritizing sites where low-trust users hold administrator roles or where the unauthenticated XSS vector is a concern.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated administrator (or a compromised/low-trust admin account) submits a crafted value to the vulnerable parameter handled by the plugin's reports service, appending additional SQL to an unprepared query to read sensitive data such as user credentials or PII from the WordPress database. Separately and without authentication, an attacker submits a form with a malicious User-Agent header that is later reflected unescaped, achieving reflected Cross-Site Scripting against whoever views it. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 08, 2026

Authenticated SQL injection in the WordPress plugin RegistrationMagic (all versions up to and including 6.0.6.2) allows a user holding administrator privileges or higher to append arbitrary SQL to the plugin's reports query, exposing sensitive rows from the site database, while a secondary unauthenticated reflected XSS is reachable through a crafted User-Agent header captured on form submission and later rendered to a victim. The vendor advisory assigns CVSS 7.2 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), but our independent assessment re-scores impact as confidentiality-high, integrity-low, availability-none (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N) because the SQLi is gated behind the highest privilege tier and the XSS is bounded to a reflected form-submission context. There is no confirmed active exploitation (not in CISA KEV) and no public exploit code identified at time of analysis, with EPSS at 0.41% (33rd percentile), so the effective priority is lower than the base score suggests despite the plugin's broad install base.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade RegistrationMagic to a release newer than 6.0.6.2 (the trailing 6.0.6.x branch), since the fix was committed to trunk in changeset 3374106; the upstream fix is available as a Trac changeset and the corresponding tagged patched version is not independently confirmed from the supplied data, so verify the plugin version shown in the WordPress admin after updating and confirm the class_rm_reports_service.php query is parameterized. Until the patched build is deployed, restrict the plugin's administrator-level accounts to the smallest possible set, enforce least privilege and strong authentication (MFA) for those accounts, and audit any admin account that is not under your direct control, because the SQLi is only reachable at PR:H and therefore presents primarily as an insider or post-compromise risk; adding a WAF rule set that flags SQL metacharacters on the plugin's reports endpoints reduces exposure but can break legitimate reporting queries, so validate in staging first. For the unauthenticated reflected XSS, block or sanitize requests carrying suspicious User-Agent values at the edge, and consider a Content-Security-Policy that disallows inline script execution on pages rendering form-submission metadata; note that User-Agent filtering can be evaded by spoofing and may block legitimate clients, and CSP may break other plugin scripts, so test both before enforcing. Monitor the advisory URL https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/4532cb38-453b-460c-879d-6f0e1caacafc?source=cve and the WordPress.org plugin page for the exact patched version number before relying on the changelog alone.

Affected ProductsAI

All releases of the WordPress plugin RegistrationMagic - Custom Registration Forms, User Registration, Payment, and User Login up to and including version 6.0.6.2 are affected; the vulnerable component is the reports service at custom-registration-form-builder-with-submission-manager/trunk/services/class_rm_reports_service.php, whose relevant revision is visible at https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/custom-registration-form-builder-with-submission-manager/trunk/services/class_rm_reports_service.php?rev=3360241, with the corrective change landing in trunk changeset 3374106 (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3374106/custom-registration-form-builder-with-submission-manager/trunk). No CPE strings were included in the supplied intelligence, so version matching should be performed against the plugin's own version metadata rather than NVD CPE ranges. The plugin distribution page is https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-registration-form-builder-with-submission-manager/ and the vendor-coordinated advisory is https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/4532cb38-453b-460c-879d-6f0e1caacafc?source=cve.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The flaw is a classic CWE-89 SQL injection inside a WordPress plugin component, specifically the reports service implemented in the plugin's class_rm_reports_service.php; a user-supplied parameter is concatenated into an existing SQL statement without adequate escaping and without the use of parameterized prepared statements, so an attacker who can reach the reports functionality can extend the original query with additional clauses (UNION/stacked-style injection) to read data outside the intended result set. The CVSS vector confirms PR:H, meaning the injection path is only reachable by an already-authenticated administrator or higher on the WordPress site, which constrains practical exploitation to insider abuse or post-compromise escalation. The second vector is a reflected XSS that does not require authentication: a malformed User-Agent string supplied during form submission is stored/echoed into a page that renders it back to a subsequent victim, executing script in the victim's session; the description frames this as a leverage path toward the SQLi, but it is functionally an independent reflection issue. No CPE identifiers were supplied in the source data; the affected package is the WordPress plugin with slug custom-registration-form-builder-with-submission-manager, and the relevant code path and fix are visible in the WordPress.org plugin Trac repository.

DescriptionCVE.org

The RegistrationMagic - Custom Registration Forms, User Registration, Payment, and User Login plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection in all versions up to, and including, 6.0.6.2 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 administrator access or higher, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. An unauthenticated attacker could utilize an injected Cross-Site Scripting via user-agent on form submission to leverage this to achieve Reflected Cross-Site Scripting.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Organizations running WordPress sites with the RegistrationMagic plugin through version 6.0.6.2 face a high-severity data exposure risk, because an authenticated administrator can manipulate reports queries to read sensitive database records, and a separate reflected XSS condition can be triggered through form submissions. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and no vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, so leadership should treat internet-facing or business-critical WordPress instances as requiring immediate inventory and interim controls. The primary concern is unauthorized access to sensitive site data and potential reputational or regulatory impact if exposed.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Deactivate or remove the plugin if not essential; restrict administrator accounts and enforce least privilege and MFA; deploy WAF/virtual patching rules to block SQLi and XSS; monitor database and web logs for suspicious reports queries and User-Agent strings; review database for sensitive data exposure.
