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 | Target site must have the Listdom plugin installed and activated at version 5.4.0 or earlier, with at least one vulnerable plugin endpoint reachable to anonymous web visitors (consistent with the typical front-end listing/search pages Listdom exposes). No authentication, no user interaction, and no non-default configuration are required (CVSS PR:N/UI:N). Practical limits: exploitation is blind, so data extraction is slow and may be throttled or detected by WAFs and rate-limiters; and a site that has the plugin installed but the front-end listing pages disabled or behind authentication would narrow exposure. |
| Impact | Signals are mixed-but-leaning-serious. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N indicates trivial remote unauthenticated reachability, and the S:C scope change explains the elevated 9.3 score despite I:N/A:L - implying the injected SQL can reach the WordPress core database (users, options, secrets) beyond the plugin's own data. Patchstack - a credible WordPress vulnerability disclosure source - is the only intelligence source, and no EPSS, KEV, SSVC, or POC data was supplied; absence of those signals is not evidence of low real-world risk for WordPress plugins, where mass-scanning of disclosed Patchstack advisories is routine within days of publication. Treat this as a high-priority patch for any site running Listdom, but note that EPSS/POC status is genuinely unknown from the provided data. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker discovers a WordPress site running Listdom ≤5.4.0, identifies a vulnerable listing/search/filter endpoint exposed by the plugin, and submits crafted parameter values containing time-based or boolean SQL payloads. Through inferential responses, they enumerate the wp_users table to extract administrator password hashes and any sensitive data stored in wp_options, then attempt offline cracking or use the data to pivot to site takeover. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 17, 2026
Blind SQL injection in Webilia's Listdom WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 5.4.0) allows remote unauthenticated attackers to inject SQL fragments into back-end queries and extract data inferentially. The flaw carries a 9.3 CVSS score with a scope change (S:C), indicating the injection can affect resources beyond the vulnerable component. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Listdom to a version newer than 5.4.0 once Webilia publishes a fixed release; the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/listdom/vulnerability/wordpress-listdom-plugin-5-4-0-sql-injection-vulnerability should be monitored for the exact patched version, as no specific fix version was provided in the supplied intelligence. Until a vendor patch is confirmed, deactivate and remove the Listdom plugin (the cleanest mitigation, at the cost of losing directory functionality), or place the site behind a WAF with WordPress-aware SQLi rulesets such as Patchstack mitigation, Wordfence, or Cloudflare Managed Rules - noting that blind SQLi via legitimate-looking parameters can evade generic signatures. As a defense-in-depth step, ensure the WordPress database user has no privileges beyond the single WP database and rotate any secrets stored in wp_options if exploitation is suspected.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Listdom is a WordPress directory/listing plugin developed by Webilia Inc. that ships custom database queries for filtering, searching, and displaying listings. The root cause is CWE-89 - user-supplied input is concatenated into an SQL statement without proper parameterization or escaping via $wpdb->prepare(). Because the bug is blind, the attacker infers data via boolean/time-based responses rather than reflected output. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:webilia_inc.:listdom:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms all distributions of the plugin up to 5.4.0 are in scope.

DescriptionCVE.org
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in Webilia Inc. Listdom allows Blind SQL Injection.
This issue affects Listdom: from n/a through 5.4.0.
Executive ViewAI
Webilia's Listdom WordPress plugin (versions ≤ 5.4.0) contains a critical blind SQL injection vulnerability (CVSS 9.3) enabling unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive database information from affected WordPress installations. Any organization using this plugin faces immediate risk of data compromise, including exposure of customer records, credentials, and confidential business information stored in WordPress databases. The vulnerability's scope change rating indicates the attack impact extends beyond the plugin to underlying database infrastructure, affecting the integrity and confidentiality of the entire WordPress environment.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim compensating controls: (1) Remove or deactivate the plugin immediately if not business-critical; (2) Enforce network segmentation restricting WordPress and database access to trusted IP ranges; (3) Deploy Web Application Firewall rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns in HTTP requests; (4) Implement database activity monitoring and alerting for suspicious query execution; (5) Apply least-privilege principles to WordPress database service accounts, limiting query scope and data access.
