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 | No special conditions are required beyond the plugin being installed and active on the target WordPress site. The vulnerable cookie processing runs as a global WordPress hook on every HTTP request - no specific page, endpoint, login, or plugin feature needs to be accessed. The CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:N/AV:N/AC:L) confirms fully unauthenticated, remote, low-complexity exploitation against any WordPress site with this plugin active. What limits exploitation: the plugin must be installed and active (not merely present as an inactive plugin); the attack surface is bounded to sites using this specific niche client-management plugin; and the delete impact is limited to records within the plugin's own tables rather than arbitrary database writes. |
| Impact | The official CVSS 3.1 score of 8.6 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N) reflects the network-accessible, zero-authentication, low-complexity nature of this flaw, with Scope:Changed indicating the SQL injection reaches data beyond the plugin's own authorization boundary. However, the official vector assigns I:N (no integrity impact), which conflicts with the description explicitly stating attackers can delete plugin-managed records - this is an integrity impact and the official vector appears to underrepresent the true risk; assessed vector below corrects this. EPSS at 0.21% (11th percentile) is low, suggesting limited observed real-world exploitation despite the severity and POC availability; this is consistent with a niche plugin affecting a smaller install base. A publicly available POC exists via WPScan, lowering the bar for exploitation significantly. No CISA KEV listing means active widespread exploitation is not confirmed. Combined signal: genuinely high technical risk for any site running this plugin, but real-world blast radius is constrained by the plugin's limited deployment footprint. Patch immediately for any affected installation. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends a standard HTTP GET request to any page on the target WordPress site, injecting a SQL payload as the value of the plugin's cookie. The plugin's global request hook processes the malicious cookie without any authentication check, executing the injected SQL against the WordPress database. The attacker iterates through time-based or UNION-based injection techniques to extract wp_users password hashes, secret keys from wp_options, or any other database table, and separately crafts delete payloads to purge plugin records. A publicly available POC via WPScan reduces the skill barrier for this attack. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 11, 2026
Unauthenticated SQL injection in the ProSolution WP Client WordPress plugin (all versions before 2.0.9) exposes arbitrary WordPress database contents to any remote attacker and permits deletion of plugin-managed records without any login or capability check. The plugin blindly embeds an unsanitized cookie value into SQL queries and executes this logic on every HTTP request site-wide, meaning any page load against a vulnerable site is a valid attack surface. A publicly available exploit exists via WPScan; no confirmed active exploitation in CISA KEV, and EPSS sits at 0.21% (11th percentile), suggesting opportunistic rather than widespread automated attack activity at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Update the ProSolution WP Client plugin to version 2.0.9 or later immediately; this is the vendor-released patch that addresses the SQL injection by sanitizing the cookie value before use in database queries. The fix can be applied via the WordPress admin dashboard under Plugins > Installed Plugins > Update, or via WP-CLI using 'wp plugin update'. If immediate patching is not possible, a compensating control is to block the specific cookie name used by the plugin at the WAF or reverse proxy layer - though this requires identifying the exact cookie name from the plugin source and may break plugin functionality. Alternatively, temporarily deactivating the plugin eliminates the attack surface entirely with the trade-off of losing client-management functionality. Restricting wp-admin access by IP does not mitigate this vulnerability since the vulnerable code runs on every request including public-facing pages. See the WPScan advisory at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/5405c86c-1cf5-4123-9dea-864096d07520/ for additional technical detail.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The ProSolution WP Client plugin is a WordPress client-management add-on (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:unknown:prosolution_wp_client:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) that stores client-related records in the WordPress MySQL database. The root cause is CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements Used in an SQL Command): the plugin reads a cookie value from the incoming HTTP request and concatenates it directly into a SQL query string without sanitization, prepared statements, or parameterized queries. Critically, this code path executes as a global hook on every WordPress request - it is not restricted to a specific admin page, endpoint, or authenticated session. This means any HTTP request to any URL on the WordPress site, authenticated or not, triggers the vulnerable SQL path. The SQL injection grants read access to arbitrary tables across the WordPress database (including wp_users, options, and custom plugin tables) and allows deletion of records within the plugin's own tables.

Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
The ProSolution WP Client WordPress plugin before 2.0.9 does not sanitise a cookie value before using it in SQL queries, and processes that cookie on every request without any authentication or capability check, allowing unauthenticated users to read arbitrary data from the database and to delete the records the ProSolution WP Client WordPress plugin before 2.0.9 stores.
Executive ViewAI
Organizations using ProSolution WP Client WordPress plugin versions prior to 2.0.9 face immediate risk of database compromise and sensitive data theft. The vulnerability allows attackers to extract and delete critical records without authentication-a threat that targets any website running the plugin on every page load. This creates urgent compliance and operational risks requiring immediate patching.
Apply vendor patch.
