Exploitation Conditions

Authentication is required: the CVSS vector PR:H confirms the attacker must hold administrator-level (or higher) WordPress credentials before exploitation is possible - unauthenticated or subscriber/editor-level users cannot reach the vulnerable code path. Beyond authentication, the attacker must supply a valid 'orderby' parameter in the same request as the malicious 'order' value; without a recognized 'orderby' value, the code path that concatenates 'order' into the SQL query is never reached. The vulnerable endpoint is specifically the payments list admin page (main/admin/admin-pages/payments/list.php), meaning the plugin's payments functionality must be in active use on the site. Exploitation is limited to data extraction only (no write or delete capability per C:H/I:N/A:N) and is scoped to the current database (S:U). The primary limiting factor is the administrator privilege requirement, which restricts realistic attackers to: compromised admin accounts, malicious insiders, or scenarios where an attacker has already achieved admin-level access through a separate vulnerability.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 score of 4.9 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) reflects a well-calibrated risk picture: while attack complexity is low and no user interaction is needed, the privilege requirement is High (PR:H - administrator-level), which sharply limits the realistic threat. An attacker must already hold full administrative credentials on the WordPress instance, meaning this vulnerability is most relevant in multi-tenant environments, SaaS WordPress hosts, or supply-chain compromise scenarios where a malicious administrator exists. The scope is Unchanged and impact is Confidentiality-only (C:H/I:N/A:N), meaning the attacker can read but not modify or destroy data. EPSS data was not provided in the input; given the PR:H requirement and niche plugin, real-world exploitation probability is expected to be low. KEV status is negative and no POC is mentioned, confirming no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The additional precondition - requiring a simultaneously valid 'orderby' parameter - further reduces automated exploitation potential. This is a genuine but low-urgency vulnerability: high CVSS confidentiality impact is real, but the admin-only attack surface makes it a lower operational priority than unauthenticated or subscriber-level SQLi.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with administrator credentials on the target WordPress site navigates to or sends a crafted HTTP request to the payments list admin endpoint, supplying a legitimate 'orderby' value alongside a malicious 'order' value containing appended SQL (e.g., appending a UNION SELECT to exfiltrate wp_users credentials or secret keys from wp_options). The gate condition - requiring a valid 'orderby' - is easily satisfied by inspecting normal plugin UI requests, and no special configuration beyond having the plugin active and the payments feature in use is required. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but the technique is well-understood and trivially reproducible by any attacker already holding admin access.

AnalysisAIv1 – May 29, 2026

SQL Injection in the Frontend Admin by DynamiApps WordPress plugin (all versions through 3.28.28) allows authenticated administrators to extract arbitrary data from the WordPress database via the 'order' parameter in the payments list view. The vulnerability stems from unsanitized concatenation of user-supplied input into a raw SQL query, reachable only when a valid 'orderby' parameter is also present in the same request. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the high privilege requirement (administrator-level) substantially limits the realistic attacker pool, keeping this a medium-severity, low-urgency finding despite the AV:N classification.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: 3.29.3. Site administrators should update the Frontend Admin by DynamiApps plugin to version 3.29.3 or later via the WordPress admin dashboard (Plugins → Updates) or by downloading directly from the WordPress plugin repository. The fix modifies lines 45-46 of main/admin/admin-pages/payments/list.php to properly escape or parameterize the 'order' value before SQL concatenation, as visible in the trac changeset referenced at https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?reponame=&old=3472098%40acf-frontend-form-element&new=3472098%40acf-frontend-form-element. If immediate patching is not possible, a compensating control is to audit and restrict which accounts hold WordPress administrator roles, as the vulnerability is unreachable without administrator-level authentication - reducing admin account sprawl directly limits exploitability without requiring application changes. Web application firewall rules targeting SQL metacharacter injection in the 'order' parameter (e.g., blocking values containing UNION, SELECT, or SQL comment sequences) can provide an additional layer, though these carry a risk of false positives on legitimate sort requests.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected plugin, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:shabti:frontend_admin_by_dynamiapps:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* and distributed under the WordPress slug acf-frontend-form-element, processes a payments list in its admin back-end. The vulnerable code resides in main/admin/admin-pages/payments/list.php (lines 45-46 per plugin trac references), where the 'order' parameter value is insufficiently escaped and directly concatenated into an existing SQL query without proper prepared-statement handling. CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command) is the root cause: the query construction trusts caller-controlled sort direction without parameterization. The 'orderby' parameter acts as a gate - it must be supplied and valid to reach the branch that concatenates 'order', meaning exploitation is path-dependent rather than universally triggerable on every request.

DescriptionCVE.org

The Frontend Admin by DynamiApps plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'order' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.28.28 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-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. Exploitation requires that the attacker also supply a valid 'orderby' parameter in the same request, as this is necessary to reach the vulnerable code path that processes and concatenates the 'order' value into the SQL query.
