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 editor-level role or higher (per PR:H); the attacker then supplies a request parameter whose array KEY is not sanitized or escaped before being used in a SQL query, enabling blind SQL injection against versions of Thrive Automator before 11.2. The primary limiting factor is the editor privilege prerequisite - exploitation is not available to anonymous or low-privilege (subscriber/contributor) users - which substantially narrows the realistic attacker set to insiders or already-compromised editor accounts. No special non-default plugin configuration is indicated by the description; the vulnerable code path appears present in affected default installs. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-priority, not an urgent, issue. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N) shows a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw, but the PR:H requirement is the dominant mitigating signal: exploitation requires an already-authenticated account at editor level, so this is a privilege-escalation/data-exposure risk from semi-trusted insiders rather than an anonymous internet attack. The multi-source signals are mutually consistent and point to low real-world urgency: EPSS is 0.18% (8th percentile), there is no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit is identified in the provided data. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month', not act_now or emergency, which aligns with the low EPSS and absence of active exploitation. One point to verify independently: the input CVSS sets S:C (scope changed) and C:H, which inflates the base score to 6.8; for a blind SQL injection confined to the WordPress database I would assess scope as unchanged, which would lower the score - the severity inflation is worth noting but does not change the operational conclusion. Overall: a real but non-emergency flaw whose practical exposure is bounded by the editor-privilege prerequisite. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who already holds (or has compromised) an editor-level WordPress account submits a request to the Thrive Automator plugin in which a parameter's array key is crafted to inject SQL. Because the injection is blind, the attacker infers database contents (e.g., user records, password hashes, secrets) through boolean/time-based responses rather than direct output. No public exploit code is identified in the available data, and exploitation requires the editor privilege level indicated by PR:H. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 28, 2026
Blind SQL injection in the Thrive Automator WordPress plugin affects all versions before 11.2 and is reachable by any authenticated account holding editor-level privileges or higher, which supplies a request parameter whose array key is neither sanitized nor escaped before being placed into a SQL query. Successfully exploited, it gives that editor-level user a read-oriented primitive against the WordPress database (confidentiality high; integrity and availability impact none), so the practical attacker set is limited to insiders or already-compromised editor accounts rather than anonymous visitors. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, EPSS is low at 0.18% (8th percentile), and the vendor has released version 11.2 as the fix.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade Thrive Automator to version 11.2 or later - this is the complete fix, and the available sources describe no workaround other than updating. Because the vulnerable array key is interpolated into SQL inside the plugin, disabling or reconfiguring other plugin features does not remove the code path; only replacing the affected files does. Verify the installed version in the WordPress plugins list (or via WP-CLI, e.g. wp plugin list) and confirm it reports 11.2+ after the update, since automation plugins often retain stale cached copies. The privilege prerequisite (PR:H, editor-level or higher) is the main exposure limiter, so as an interim measure while maintenance windows are scheduled, audit which accounts hold Editor or Administrator roles and remove those that do not need them.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is a CWE-89 SQL injection in a WordPress plugin written in PHP. What makes it distinctive is the injection point: the attacker-controlled value is not an ordinary parameter value but a key inside a request parameter's array (for example parameter[attacker_key]), and that key is concatenated into a SQL query without sanitization or escaping. Escaping and parameterization applied only to values would not neutralise a key that is interpolated as part of the query text, and because the injection is blind the application returns no direct query output - data must be extracted through inference (boolean or time-based responses). The assessed vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, i.e. network reachable and low complexity but gated behind an authenticated editor-level account, with scope unchanged and impact confined to confidentiality. Affected deployments are standard WordPress installations running Thrive Automator below 11.2; the vulnerable path appears present in default installations with no special non-default plugin configuration indicated. Per the independent assessment this is a moderate-priority, not an urgent, issue.

The Thrive Automator WordPress plugin before 11.2 does not properly sanitize and escape a parameter's array key before using it in a SQL query, allowing authenticated attackers with editor-level access to perform blind SQL injection attacks.
