Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated administrator account on the target WordPress site (CVSS PR:H), as reflected in the advisory title 'Administrator SQL Injection'; the attacker must reach a Frontend Admin by DynamiApps plugin feature that accepts user input and passes it into a SQL query without proper sanitization. The primary limiting factor is the administrator privilege prerequisite - this is not remotely exploitable by anonymous or low-privileged users - which confines the realistic threat to insiders, compromised admin credentials, or environments that grant admin roles to lower-trust users. No user interaction by a victim is required (UI:N), and it is reachable over the network via the web interface (AV:N). Affected deployments are those running plugin version 3.29.13 or earlier.

Impact

This is a high-CVSS (7.6) but modest-real-risk issue driven almost entirely by the privilege requirement. The CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N is internally consistent with the vulnerability name 'Administrator SQL Injection': PR:H confirms the attacker must already hold administrator-level access to the WordPress site, which sharply limits the realistic attacker population since a WordPress administrator is already highly privileged by design. The S:C/C:H/I:N/A:L impact set indicates the main consequence is unauthorized disclosure of database contents (potentially beyond the plugin's own scope) with limited availability impact and no integrity impact. On exploitation signals, no EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit code were provided in the intelligence, so this is not a confirmed active-exploitation priority. There is a notable tension worth flagging: the network attack vector (AV:N) and scope-change (S:C) inflate the base score, yet the PR:H precondition means this is only exploitable by someone who already controls the admin panel - a context in which the incremental risk is far lower than the 7.6 suggests. Treat this as a routine 'patch in normal cycle' item rather than an emergency, unless the environment relies on lower-trust users holding administrator roles.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A user who already holds an administrator account on a WordPress site running Frontend Admin by DynamiApps 3.29.13 or earlier submits crafted input through a plugin feature that is passed unsanitized into a SQL query. This lets them inject SQL to read database contents beyond the intended interface. No public proof-of-concept exploit was identified in the provided data.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 10, 2026

SQL injection in the Frontend Admin by DynamiApps WordPress plugin (all versions up to and including 3.29.13) lets an authenticated administrator inject arbitrary SQL through plugin input fields handled without proper sanitization, scored 7.6 under the vendor-published vector. The realistic risk is contained rather than broad: exploitation requires a valid administrator account on the target site (CVSS PR:H), so the practical threat surface is insiders, compromised admin credentials, or deployments that hand admin-level access to lower-trust users, and it is reachable over the network without any victim interaction. No public exploit code and no confirmed active exploitation were identified at time of analysis, and the primary limiting factor remains the administrator privilege prerequisite rather than any technical barrier.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch was identified at time of analysis; the advisory reference covers version 3.29.13, so sites should track the Patchstack database entry (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/acf-frontend-form-element/vulnerability/wordpress-frontend-admin-by-dynamiapps-plugin-3-29-13-sql-injection-vulnerability) and the plugin's WordPress.org update channel for a fixed release, then upgrade as soon as one is published. In the interim, treat the administrator privilege prerequisite as the primary control: audit which accounts hold the administrator role and remove it from any user who does not genuinely need it, since the flaw is only reachable through admin-privileged plugin features, with the trade-off that legitimate administrators must still retain the role to use the plugin. If the plugin's front-end admin functionality is not operationally required, deactivating it removes the attack surface entirely at the cost of losing those features. Additional compensating controls include enforcing least privilege on the WordPress database user so a successful injection cannot reach unrelated schemas, deploying WAF or virtual-patching rules that flag SQL metacharacter patterns in requests to the plugin's endpoints (accepting possible false positives on legitimate form submissions), rotating credentials and reviewing logs for anomalous admin activity, and enforcing strong authentication plus multi-factor authentication on all administrator accounts to reduce the likelihood that the prerequisite access is obtained through credential compromise.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The issue is a classic CWE-89 SQL injection in a WordPress plugin, meaning attacker-controlled input reaches a database query without adequate sanitization, escaping, or parameterization via prepared statements. The affected component is the Frontend Admin by DynamiApps plugin (CPE cpe:2.3:a:shabti_kaplan:frontend_admin_by_dynamiapps:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), which exposes front-end form and content-management features to WordPress users, including administrative ones; the advisory title explicitly frames this as an 'Administrator SQL Injection', indicating the vulnerable code path is reachable through administrator-privileged plugin functionality. Because the injection point sits behind the plugin's admin-facing features, the vulnerability does not provide anonymous or subscriber-level attackers with a path into the database. One nuance worth noting is scoring disagreement: the published vector lists a scope change (S:C) while our independent assessment treats scope as unchanged (S:U) and slightly lowers integrity impact, which is consistent with a query-manipulation flaw whose blast radius is bounded by the plugin's own database access. No user interaction is required (UI:N) and the attack vector is network-reachable (AV:N) through the normal web interface.

DescriptionCVE.org

Administrator SQL Injection in Frontend Admin by DynamiApps <= 3.29.13 versions.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A high-severity SQL injection flaw affects the Frontend Admin by DynamiApps plugin for WordPress in all versions through 3.29.13, and no vendor fix is currently available. Because successful abuse requires an already-authenticated administrator account, the exposure is concentrated among insider threats, stolen or reused admin credentials, and sites that grant elevated access to contractors or lower-trust staff rather than the general public. Leadership should care because a compromise of that kind could expose or corrupt the underlying site database, with reputational and regulatory consequences, while remediation is currently limited to configuration hardening rather than patching.

Business Impact: Medium
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict and audit administrator accounts, enforce MFA and least privilege, temporarily disable the plugin where feasible, and apply WAF/virtual patching rules to block SQL injection attempts against plugin input fields. Note that exploitation is authenticated (CVSS PR:H) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
