Unauthenticated SQL Injection in Real Estate 7 <= 3.5.9 versions.
AnalysisAI
SQL injection in the Real Estate 7 WordPress theme (versions up to and including 3.5.9) lets unauthenticated remote attackers inject malicious SQL through an unsanitized parameter, exposing backend database contents. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 9.3 (S:C/C:H) driven by the scope change and high confidentiality impact, with no authentication or user interaction required. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV; it was reported through Patchstack's vulnerability research program.
Technical ContextAI
Real Estate 7 is a premium WordPress theme used to build property-listing and real-estate agency websites, running inside the standard WordPress/PHP stack on top of a MySQL/MariaDB database. The root cause is CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command): attacker-controlled input reaches a database query without proper parameterization or escaping, allowing query structure to be altered. Because the input is reachable pre-authentication, any theme endpoint, AJAX action, or search/filter handler that builds dynamic SQL from request parameters is a candidate sink. No CPE strings were supplied in the input, so exact affected components beyond the theme name/version are not enumerated.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version was identified in the provided data; the affected range (<= 3.5.9) implies a later release should contain the fix, but that version is not confirmed here, so consult the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/theme/realestate-7/vulnerability/wordpress-real-estate-7-theme-3-5-9-sql-injection-vulnerability?_s_id=cve) and the theme vendor for the exact patched build and upgrade to it as the primary fix. As compensating controls until patched: deploy a WordPress/WAF rule (Patchstack, Wordfence, or equivalent) with virtual patching for this CVE and generic SQLi signatures, which adds latency/false-positive tuning overhead; restrict or disable the specific theme search/filter or AJAX endpoint that accepts the injectable parameter if it can be identified, accepting loss of that front-end feature; and place the site behind authentication or IP allowlisting for non-public deployments, which breaks public browsing if the site must remain open. Enforce least-privilege on the MySQL account used by WordPress (remove FILE/admin privileges) to limit the blast radius of any successful injection.
