Exploitation Conditions

Two specific conditions must both be true for exploitation: (1) the WordPress installation must be operating in multisite mode (wp-config.php must define MULTISITE as true and the network must be configured - this is a non-default WordPress setup); and (2) the attacker must be authenticated with Administrator-level access or higher (CVSS PR:H), meaning they hold a valid admin session on the multisite network. Single-site WordPress installations are explicitly not affected regardless of credential level. What limits exploitation: the high privilege bar (PR:H) means a threat actor must have already compromised or legitimately hold admin credentials; the multisite constraint excludes the majority of WordPress deployments; and the impact is read-only (no integrity or availability loss per CVSS C:H/I:N/A:N).

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.9 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) accurately captures the dominant risk limiter: PR:H requires Administrator-level authentication, meaning an attacker must already hold privileged access to the WordPress installation before the vulnerability is reachable. Combined with the multisite-only constraint - a non-default WordPress configuration - the realistic exposed population is substantially smaller than the full WordPress ecosystem. Confidentiality impact is rated High (C:H) because a successful injection can extract arbitrary database rows, potentially including credentials, user PII, and application secrets. Integrity and availability are unaffected per the CVSS vector, consistent with a read-only SQL injection path. No EPSS data was provided in the intelligence feed, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, suggesting no confirmed widespread exploitation. The Wordfence report and plugin repository changeset 3484407 indicate a patch was committed, but no exact fixed version number is confirmed in the available data. Overall: low operational priority for single-site WordPress deployments; moderate priority for multisite installations where administrators are not fully trusted (e.g., large networks with delegated admin roles).

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who already holds WordPress Administrator credentials on a multisite installation navigates to the Network Admin login history table and submits a crafted HTTP request with a malicious 'blog_id' value containing SQL metacharacters (e.g., a UNION SELECT clause). Because the parameter is interpolated without escaping or prepared statements at lines 70 and 116 of class-network-admin-login-list-table.php, the injected SQL executes against the WordPress database, returning sensitive data such as user password hashes or option table secrets in the response. No public exploit code has been identified, but the source-level references make the injection point trivially reproducible from the plugin repository browser.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 16, 2026

SQL injection in the User Login History WordPress plugin (all versions ≤2.1.7) enables authenticated administrators to append arbitrary SQL to existing queries via the unsanitized 'blog_id' parameter, exposing the full WordPress database to read access. The vulnerability is constrained to WordPress multisite deployments and requires Administrator-level credentials, limiting its real-world attack surface considerably. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis; a code-level fix appears to have been committed upstream per the plugin repository changeset.

RemediationAI

Update the User Login History plugin to the version released after changeset 3484407, which contains the upstream code fix addressing the unsanitized 'blog_id' parameter in class-network-admin-login-list-table.php. Confirm the exact patched version via the WordPress plugin repository or the Wordfence advisory at https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/4552786b-3362-45bf-9012-cd52f69f0462, as no explicit fixed release number was confirmed in available intelligence data. If immediate patching is not feasible on multisite installations, restrict Network Admin access to a minimal, fully trusted administrator set, as the vulnerability requires Administrator-level credentials - reducing the number of principals holding that role limits blast radius. Additionally, a Web Application Firewall rule targeting SQL metacharacter patterns in the 'blog_id' parameter can serve as a compensating control, though this may interfere with legitimate multisite blog ID values if not carefully tuned.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The flaw resides in the network admin login list table class (inc/admin/class-network-admin-login-list-table.php, lines 70 and 116), part of the User Login History plugin authored by faiyazalam (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:faiyazalam:user_login_history:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command) identifies the root cause: user-supplied input for the 'blog_id' parameter is neither properly escaped nor parameterized via prepared statements before being interpolated into an existing SQL query. This classic second-order or inline injection pattern allows an attacker to append UNION-based or stacked SQL clauses. Because the code path is within the network admin interface, it is only reachable in WordPress multisite configurations where the Network Admin dashboard is active.

DescriptionCVE.org

The User Login History plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'blog_id' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.7. This is 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 Administrator-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. This is only exploitable on multisite installations.
