Unauthenticated SQL Injection in Nikstore Core <= 1.5 versions.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated SQL injection in the Nikstore Core WordPress plugin (versions <= 1.5) lets remote attackers inject arbitrary SQL through unsanitized input reaching a database query, per a Patchstack report classified under CWE-89. Any exposed WordPress site running the plugin is reachable without credentials, and the changed CVSS scope reflects the database being a distinct security authority from the web application. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires only that a target WordPress site has the Nikstore Core plugin (version 1.5 or earlier) installed and active, with the vulnerable request endpoint reachable over the network; the CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N confirms no authentication and no user interaction are needed against a default install. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The signals are largely aligned toward high priority: the CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated attack, which is the classic profile for opportunistic and automated exploitation, and the 9.3 score is driven up by the changed scope (S:C) plus high confidentiality impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker discovers an internet-facing WordPress site running Nikstore Core <= 1.5 via plugin fingerprinting, then sends a single crafted HTTP request with a malicious SQL payload in a vulnerable parameter, requiring no authentication or user interaction. The injected query returns database contents such as usernames and password hashes from wp_users, enabling credential theft and follow-on account compromise. … |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch version is identified at time of analysis; the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/nikstore-core/vulnerability/wordpress-nikstore-core-plugin-1-5-sql-injection-vulnerability?_s_id=cve) is the authoritative reference and should be checked for a release beyond 1.5, which must be applied as the primary fix once available. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all WordPress installations to identify those running Nikstore Core plugin version 1.5 or earlier and confirm internet exposure. …
