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 | Requires an authenticated WordPress account with Contributor role or higher on a site running the Ukr-To-Lat plugin version ≤1.3.5. Exploitation targets the term-name input, which is used unsanitized in a SQL query (CWE-89). Limiting factors: the attacker must already hold valid Contributor-level credentials (not unauthenticated), so risk is highest where open user registration is enabled or where low-tier accounts can be phished/compromised; impact is confidentiality-only (data disclosure), with no stated integrity or availability effect. Note the input CVSS lists PR:H, which contradicts the Contributor-level description and likely overstates the required privilege. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-priority, not a top-priority, issue. The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N, base 6.8) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity SQL injection yielding high confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability impact. A key internal conflict exists: the CVSS vector encodes PR:H (high privileges), but the description states exploitation requires only 'Contributor-level access and above' - Contributor is a low-privileged authenticated WordPress role, which conventionally maps to PR:L. This discrepancy likely understates ease of exploitation and should be verified. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC indicator was supplied in the input, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified; per available signals there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. The requirement for an authenticated Contributor account materially limits real-world risk to attackers who already hold a foothold (e.g., via open registration or compromised low-tier accounts), making this an insider/post-foothold privilege-leverage flaw rather than a mass-exploitable unauthenticated bug. Combined with the plugin's niche footprint, this is a 'patch in normal cycle' item, not an emergency. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has obtained a WordPress Contributor-level account (via open user registration or credential compromise) submits a term name containing a crafted SQL payload, which is concatenated unsanitized into a backend SQL query. The injection lets them read sensitive database contents such as other users' data and password hashes. No public exploit code was identified in the provided data, and low attack complexity means exploitation is straightforward once authenticated. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 18, 2026
SQL injection in the Ukr-To-Lat WordPress plugin, affecting all versions through 1.3.5, allows authenticated users holding Contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary SQL through an unsanitized term name and thereby read sensitive data from the site's database. The assessed impact is confidentiality-only (high), with no integrity or availability effect, and exploitation requires a valid low-privileged account - a realistic path on sites with open registration or weak account hygiene. No public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV) was identified at time of analysis, so this is a moderate-priority rather than top-priority issue.
RemediationAI
Because all versions through 1.3.5 are affected, upgrade the plugin to a release later than 1.3.5 and confirm the exact fixed version in the WPScan advisory (https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/01abcbf8-d256-49b9-b660-38c50506c441/) before relying on the update; no exact fix version is stated in the provided data, so treat 1.3.5 as the last known-vulnerable build. If immediate upgrade is not possible, disable or deactivate the Ukr-To-Lat plugin - it only provides transliteration of term slugs, so losing it degrades slug readability rather than site function - or restrict term-management capabilities so Contributor accounts cannot create or edit terms (role-management plugins can remove the edit_terms/manage_categories capabilities with the side effect that contributors may no longer tag their drafts). Additional compensating controls: close open user registration and audit existing Contributor accounts for unverified or dormant users, and deploy a WAF rule blocking SQL metacharacters and UNION/comment sequences in taxonomy term parameters (imperfect, as it can break legitimate Cyrillic input containing apostrophes). Finally, assume database contents such as user emails and password hashes may have been read if any untrusted Contributor account existed; rotate credentials, salts and API secrets accordingly.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The plugin performs transliteration of Ukrainian Cyrillic text to Latin characters for WordPress terms (categories, tags and similar taxonomy entries). According to the WPScan report, a term name is passed into a SQL query without sanitization or escaping, the classic CWE-89 pattern in which user-controlled strings are concatenated into query text instead of being bound through wpdb::prepare() or cast to an integer. Because the vulnerable sink accepts a term name - a string field writable by users who can create or edit terms - an attacker with Contributor-level or higher access can append SQL syntax that alters the executed statement, enabling UNION- or boolean-based extraction of data from WordPress core and plugin tables (for example user hashes, email addresses and stored secrets). The supplied CVSS vector specifies PR:H, but the vendor description and our independent assessment place the prerequisite at Contributor level, corresponding to PR:L; the authoritative assessment (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:N/C:H/I:N/A:N) is used here, and the scope change asserted in the input vector is not carried over.

Contributor is a low-privilege authenticated role so PR:L (not PR:H); network SQLi with low complexity; read-only data disclosure gives C:H with I:N/A:N and no demonstrated authority crossing (S:N).
