Subscriber SQL Injection in Taskbuilder <= 5.0.7 versions.

AnalysisAI

SQL injection in the Taskbuilder WordPress plugin versions 5.0.7 and earlier allows authenticated Subscriber-level users to inject malicious SQL into backend database queries, enabling exposure of sensitive data including credential hashes and limited integrity/availability impact on the underlying WordPress site. The flaw was disclosed by Patchstack and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.5 driven by a scope change to the database tier; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not on CISA KEV.

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an authenticated WordPress account at Subscriber level or above on a site with the Taskbuilder plugin installed and active at version 5.0.7 or earlier, and the targeted Taskbuilder endpoint must be reachable by that low-privileged role. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:L reflects remotely reachable, low-complexity exploitation by any authenticated Subscriber - a privilege tier that many WordPress sites grant automatically on open registration - with a scope change yielding high confidentiality impact on the database. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker registers a free Subscriber account on a WordPress site running Taskbuilder <= 5.0.7, then sends a crafted request to a vulnerable plugin endpoint with SQL payloads in a parameter that is concatenated into a backend query. The injection extracts administrator password hashes and session tokens from wp_users and wp_usermeta, which the attacker then cracks or replays to escalate to full site takeover. …
Remediation Patch available per vendor advisory; administrators should upgrade Taskbuilder to the version above 5.0.7 published on the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/taskbuilder/vulnerability/wordpress-taskbuilder-plugin-5-0-7-sql-injection-vulnerability and verify via the WordPress plugin updater. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
