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 administrator account (CVSS PR:H). The vulnerable action is specifically saving a popup's page and category visibility rules, where request-supplied ID values are concatenated into the INSERT statement without parameter binding or integer casting. The primary limiting factor is the administrator privilege requirement, which sharply narrows the realistic attacker population since administrators already possess extensive database access through legitimate WordPress features; there is no user-interaction or non-default-configuration requirement beyond having the Customer Engagement System plugin (before 2.0.2) installed and active. |
| Impact | This is a genuinely low-priority issue despite being a network-vector SQL injection. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N, base 4.1) requires PR:H - an already-authenticated WordPress administrator - which is the dominant limiting factor: an administrator can typically read the database through legitimate functionality already, so the real privilege escalation here is marginal. Impact is confined to confidentiality at Low (C:L) with no integrity or availability effect, consistent with a read-only database-disclosure flaw. The exploitation-probability signals reinforce low urgency: EPSS is 0.18% (7th percentile), the CVE is NOT on CISA KEV, and no public exploit was identified in the input (the WPScan reference is an advisory, not verified working exploit code). Exploitation status: no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month' - routine patching, not act_now or emergency. Note one modeling tension to verify: the vector sets S:C (scope changed), presumably because injection in the plugin exposes the entire WordPress database beyond the plugin's own tables; a reviewer could reasonably argue S:U since it is the same security authority (the WordPress DB). No signals conflict in a way that raises risk - all point to a low-real-risk, admin-only information-disclosure bug. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated WordPress administrator (or an attacker who has compromised an admin account) creates or edits a popup and supplies crafted page/category visibility-rule ID values; because those IDs are concatenated directly into an INSERT statement without parameter binding or integer casting, the attacker injects SQL that reads arbitrary WordPress database contents. No public exploit code was identified in the available data, and exploitation requires an existing high-privilege (administrator) account, so the practical attacker set is narrow. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 28, 2026
Authenticated SQL injection in the Customer Engagement System WordPress plugin before 2.0.2 lets a WordPress administrator read database contents by supplying unsanitized popup page and category ID values that are concatenated into an INSERT statement. The assessed vector requires a high-privileged administrator (PR:H), which sharply limits the realistic attacker population because administrators already have broad database access, and the issue is rated low priority. EPSS is 0.18% (7th percentile), the vuln.today decision label is this_month, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: update the Customer Engagement System WordPress plugin to version 2.0.2 or later, the first release outside the affected <2.0.2 range, as indicated by the vendor advisory at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/de33decd-1ef2-436d-9372-60a3afccf618/. Because the assessed vector requires an authenticated administrator (PR:H), exposure is limited to sites where such an account is already compromised or misused. No separate workaround is documented in the provided references, so applying the vendor update is the complete remediation identified.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is a WordPress plugin, Customer Engagement System, which stores a popup's page and category visibility rules in the WordPress database. The root cause is CWE-89 SQL injection: request-supplied ID values are concatenated directly into an INSERT statement without parameter binding or an integer cast, allowing an authenticated administrator to inject SQL when those visibility rules are saved. The supplied CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N, indicating a network-reachable issue with a high-privilege requirement, no user interaction, changed scope, limited confidentiality impact, and no integrity or availability impact. The trigger described in the available sources is specifically the save action for a popup's page and category visibility rules; no other vulnerable action is described.

Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
The Customer Engagement System WordPress plugin before 2.0.2 does not safely build the SQL statements that store a popup's page and category visibility rules, concatenating request-supplied ID values directly into an INSERT statement with no parameter binding or integer cast, allowing an authenticated administrator to inject arbitrary SQL and read the contents of the WordPress database.
