MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Persistence The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | No special conditions - remote unauthenticated exploitation against default configurations of PickPlugins Question Answer plugin. The id GET parameter exposed in the user profile template is directly vulnerable without any required user interaction or elevated privileges. |
| Impact | CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) indicates high-severity information disclosure with low attack complexity and no privileges or user interaction required. Despite the high score, SSVC analysis shows exploitation status as 'none', automatable 'yes', and technical impact 'partial' (only confidentiality affected). No exploit code is publicly available, and there are no known active exploitation reports. The risk is moderate: while the vulnerability is easy to exploit for data theft, the plugin's limited install base and lack of known attacks temper the real-world urgency. However, any exposed instance is at risk of database compromise. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker identifies a WordPress site with the vulnerable plugin active. They send a crafted GET request to a user profile page (e.g., /user-profile/?user=1&id=...), injecting SQL payloads via the id parameter. Successful exploitation extracts database contents such as user credentials or other sensitive data. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 29, 2026
SQL injection in PickPlugins Question Answer for WordPress up to 1.2.73 permits unauthenticated remote attackers to extract sensitive database information via the unsanitized 'id' GET parameter. The vulnerability is automatable, requires no user interaction, and exposes confidential data. No public exploit code or active exploitation is known at this time, but the high CVSS score and low attack complexity warrant prompt attention.
RemediationAI
Update the PickPlugins Question Answer plugin to a patched version beyond 1.2.73 once released. As the exact fixed version is not confirmed in the provided data, consult the Wordfence advisory for the latest secure release. If an immediate update is not possible, disable the plugin entirely or apply a web application firewall rule to block or sanitize malicious 'id' parameter values on user profile pages. Note that disabling the plugin removes its functionality entirely, which may be acceptable in low-usage scenarios.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability resides in the user profile template of the PickPlugins Question Answer WordPress plugin, built with PHP. The 'id' GET parameter in templates/user-profile/user-profile.php and user-profile-hook.php is processed using wp_unslash(), which strips WordPress's magic quotes escaping, and then directly concatenated into a SQL query without using parameterized queries or escaping. This classic SQL injection (CWE-89) allows attackers to manipulate the database queries executed in the qa_user_profile_card() function. The CPE data indicates the affected component is the PickPlugins Question Answer plugin, versions up to 1.2.73.

DescriptionCVE.org
The PickPlugins Question Answer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection in versions up to and including 1.2.73. This is due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input via the 'id' GET parameter in the user profile template combined with the use of wp_unslash() which removes WordPress's magic quotes protection, followed by direct concatenation into a SQL query without proper escaping or prepared statements in the qa_user_profile_card() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into existing queries, which can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
