Network-reachable SQLi needing a Contributor account (PR:L) at low complexity; primarily discloses database data (C:H) with limited integrity impact via injection (I:L) and no clear availability effect; scope kept unchanged as impact stays within the DB-backed application.

Contributor SQL Injection in iNET Webkit 1.2.4 versions.
AnalysisAI
SQL injection in the iNET Webkit WordPress plugin (version 1.2.4 and prior) lets authenticated users holding at least the Contributor role inject arbitrary SQL through unsanitized input, exposing the WordPress database. Reported by Patchstack and carrying a CVSS 8.5 (scope-changed) rating, it enables read access to sensitive data such as user credentials and secrets. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
The affected component is iNET Webkit, a WordPress plugin (CPE cpe:2.3:a:inet:inet_webkit) running in the PHP/WordPress stack against a MySQL/MariaDB backend. The root cause is CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command): user-controllable parameters reachable by low-privilege Contributor accounts are concatenated into SQL queries without parameterization or proper escaping, so crafted input alters query structure. In WordPress, Contributor is a low-trust role able to create draft posts but not publish, which makes any SQLi reachable at that privilege level notable.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; consult the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/inet-webkit/vulnerability/wordpress-inet-webkit-plugin-1-2-4-sql-injection-vulnerability) for an updated fixed version and upgrade as soon as one is published. Until then, restrict who can obtain Contributor accounts by disabling open user registration (Settings > General, uncheck 'Anyone can register') and audit existing low-privilege accounts, which shrinks the pool of attackers with the required role; deploy a WordPress-aware WAF or virtual patch (e.g. Patchstack) to block SQLi payloads against the plugin's endpoints, accepting possible false positives on legitimate content; and if the plugin is non-essential, deactivate and remove it to eliminate the attack surface at the cost of its functionality.
