Exploitation Conditions

No special conditions are required for the SQL injection path - exploitation targets any default WordPress installation with the Dinatur plugin (≤1.18) installed and active, from the network, with no credentials. The Dinatur plugin must be installed and active (not just present); no non-default configuration is required. For the truncation path, the same applies: no authorization check exists, so any unauthenticated HTTP request reaching the handler triggers the destructive operation. Exploitation is limited only by the plugin's installation base - sites not running Dinatur are unaffected. There is no requirement for a logged-in user, no required interaction from an administrator, and no platform-specific constraint beyond WordPress running PHP with the plugin active.

Impact

The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N, score 8.6) captures only the confidentiality impact of the SQL injection path and appears to omit the integrity and availability impact of the unauthenticated truncation primitive - a significant undercount. The attack requires no credentials, no user interaction, and no special configuration beyond the plugin being installed and active, placing real-world exploitation complexity at the absolute floor. No EPSS data was supplied in the intelligence package, and the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV, so widespread automated exploitation is not confirmed. However, the combination of a network-accessible, zero-authentication attack surface and an irreversible data-destruction primitive (truncation) elevates operational risk well above what the I:N/A:N metrics suggest. For sites running this plugin, the effective risk is critical rather than high, because data loss from truncation is not recoverable without backups.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP GET or POST request to the Dinatur plugin's vulnerable handler, injecting a SQL payload into an unsanitized parameter to enumerate and extract WordPress user credentials, email addresses, or other sensitive table contents. Separately - or in the same request - the attacker triggers the unguarded truncation operation, wiping the plugin's database tables and destroying stored data with no prior authentication. No exploit code has been publicly identified at time of analysis, but the attack requires only a standard HTTP client and basic SQL injection knowledge.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 19, 2026

Unauthenticated SQL injection and unauthorized data destruction affect the Dinatur WordPress plugin through version 1.18. The same vulnerable request handler accepts unsanitized user input directly into SQL queries and also executes a full database table truncation with no authorization check - meaning any unauthenticated visitor can both exfiltrate WordPress database contents and irreversibly wipe the plugin's stored data. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but the zero-barrier exploitation (no credentials, no special configuration) makes this a high-urgency finding for any site running the affected plugin.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis - the affected version range extends to the latest published release (1.18) with no higher safe version noted. The primary recommended action is immediate deactivation and removal of the Dinatur plugin from all WordPress installations. As a compensating control while evaluating alternatives, site operators can use a web application firewall (WAF) rule to block requests to the specific vulnerable handler endpoint; however, without knowing the exact endpoint path, WAF coverage cannot be guaranteed and plugin removal remains the only reliable mitigation. Database backups should be taken immediately to capture current state before any exploitation occurs, given the truncation risk. The WPScan advisory (https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/1369f95a-4ad3-4b0e-a87f-da88d200685e/) and NVD entry (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-12983) should be monitored for patch availability.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability class is CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Query), a classic SQL injection root cause. The Dinatur WordPress plugin (affected through version 1.18) fails to sanitize or escape HTTP request parameters before interpolating them into SQL queries executed against the WordPress MySQL/MariaDB database. Compounding this, the same handler unconditionally performs a SQL TRUNCATE or DELETE operation without checking whether the requesting user holds any WordPress capability (e.g., manage_options or similar). Because WordPress plugins execute within the WordPress PHP runtime and share direct access to the wpdb abstraction layer, a successful injection can reach beyond the plugin's own tables to arbitrary WordPress tables, explaining the CVSS Scope:Changed rating. The EUVD CPE-equivalent listing confirms all Dinatur releases from 0 through 1.18 are affected.

DescriptionCVE.org

The Dinatur WordPress plugin through 1.18 does not sanitize and escape user input before using it in a SQL query, allowing unauthenticated users to perform SQL injection attacks. The same handler also performs a database table truncation without any authorization check, allowing any unauthenticated visitor to wipe the Dinatur WordPress plugin through 1.18's data.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

The Dinatur WordPress plugin through version 1.18 contains a vulnerability allowing any website visitor to steal the entire WordPress database and permanently destroy plugin data without authentication. Organizations using this plugin face immediate risk of catastrophic data loss and operational disruption with zero barrier to exploitation.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

Immediately deactivate the Dinatur plugin; implement WAF rules to block plugin endpoint requests; verify and test database backup restoration procedures; restrict plugin installation capabilities to administrator role only. No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis.
