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-level privileges or above (PR:L); this is the primary limiting factor, since sites that do not permit untrusted contributor registration sharply reduce the exploitable population. The specific vulnerable code path is reached when a season has no associated joomsport_tournament term - which the description states is the default state for newly created seasons, so the condition is commonly satisfied rather than exotic. The injection is delivered through the 'team_id' parameter, which is insufficiently escaped and not properly prepared in the query. No user interaction is needed (UI:N) and exploitation works against default configurations of the JoomSport plugin for WordPress in all versions up to and including 5.7.11. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but moderate-priority issue, not a top-tier emergency. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, base 6.5) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity SQL injection that nonetheless requires authentication at contributor level (PR:L), which materially limits the attacker population to users who already hold a plugin/site account - on most WordPress sites contributor registration is not open to the public. Impact is confidentiality-only (C:H, I:N, A:N): the flaw reads sensitive database contents (e.g. user records, secrets) but does not directly alter data or availability. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month', consistent with a real-but-not-urgent remediation window. No CISA KEV entry and no EPSS score were provided in the input, so there is no signal of active or widespread exploitation; exploitation status is therefore 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis'. The references are Wordfence threat-intel and WordPress plugin source/changeset links - these document the vulnerable code and the fix, not a weaponized exploit. The signals are internally consistent (CVSS auth requirement matches the description's 'contributor-level access and above'), so there is no major conflict; the main caveat is that EPSS and KEV data are simply absent rather than contradictory. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who holds (or registers/obtains) a contributor-level WordPress account submits a request manipulating the 'team_id' parameter so that crafted SQL is appended to the plugin's existing query, extracting sensitive data such as password hashes or secret keys from the database. Because the vulnerable code path triggers when a season has no associated joomsport_tournament term - the default state for newly created seasons - the condition is readily met on typical installations. No standalone working exploit is confirmed in the input, though Wordfence and WordPress source references document the flaw and its fix. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 29, 2026
SQL injection in the JoomSport WordPress plugin through version 5.7.11 lets authenticated users with contributor-level access or higher inject SQL through the 'team_id' parameter and read sensitive information from the database. The vulnerable code path is reached when a season has no associated joomsport_tournament term, a state the source describes as the default for newly created seasons. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and this is a moderate-priority SQL injection rather than a top-tier emergency.
RemediationAI
Apply the upstream fix represented by changeset 3770486 (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3770486) and update JoomSport to a release that includes it; the supplied data identifies this upstream fix but does not state a specific patched release version, so confirm the installed version contains the changeset before considering the issue resolved. Until then, restrict contributor-level and higher accounts to trusted users and review or remove unused contributor accounts, since exploitation requires PR:L; deactivate or remove the plugin if its sports-league functionality is not needed. These measures reduce exposure but do not remediate the SQL injection. The advisory is at https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/31931ac8-08f8-4fe7-9318-5a1d8dc89bed?source=cve.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CWE-89 (SQL Injection) in the JoomSport - for Sports plugin for WordPress. The plugin builds SQL involving the user-supplied team_id parameter without sufficient escaping and without adequate query preparation, so an authenticated contributor can append SQL to an existing query. The references identify the affected code in class-jsport-getplayers.php line 136, joomsport-shortcodes.php line 485, and class-jsport-team.php lines 39 and 280 at tag 5.7.11; the vulnerable path is reached when a season lacks an associated joomsport_tournament term. The CVSS vector confirms network access, low privileges (PR:L), no user interaction, and high confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability impact.

DescriptionCVE.org
The JoomSport - for Sports: Team & League, Football, Hockey & more plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'team_id' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.7.11 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 contributor-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. The vulnerable code path is reached when the season has no associated joomsport_tournament term, which is the default state for newly created seasons.
