Unauthenticated network SQLi with low complexity (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N); primary impact is data disclosure (C:H) with limited write potential (I:L), and I assess no scope change absent evidence the DB crosses a security authority (S:U).

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The target must run the Readabler WordPress plugin at a version earlier than 2.0.18 with the plugin active and its vulnerable endpoint reachable over the network. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:L) describes a high-severity, low-complexity, unauthenticated network attack with a confidentiality-focused impact and a scope change, which is consistent with SQL injection that can read data across the application boundary. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP request containing malicious SQL to a Readabler plugin endpoint on a target WordPress site running a version below 2.0.18. Because no authentication or user interaction is required, the attacker can automate scanning across many sites to extract sensitive database contents such as user records or password hashes. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: update the Readabler plugin to version 2.0.18 or later, which is the primary and definitive fix; consult the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/readabler/vulnerability/wordpress-readabler-plugin-2-0-18-sql-injection-vulnerability) for confirmation. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, audit all WordPress installations for Readabler versions prior to 2.0.18 and immediately disable the plugin or restrict database access to it if disabling would impact accessibility requirements. …
