Exploitation Conditions

Requires an authenticated WordPress account with contributor-level capabilities or higher on a site running BSK PDF Manager through 3.8.1; the attacker then supplies malicious input to the specific unsanitised, unescaped plugin parameter used in a SQL statement. Limiting factors: exploitation is gated on holding a valid low-privilege account, so sites that do not permit untrusted user registration or do not grant contributor access to outsiders face substantially reduced exposure. Impact is confidentiality-only (database read, including admin password hashes); no data modification or denial of service is described.

Impact

This is a moderate-severity, authenticated SQL injection (CWE-89) in the BSK PDF Manager WordPress plugin. The input CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N, 6.8) indicates network reachability, low complexity, no user interaction, and a confidentiality-only impact with scope change - consistent with reading data (e.g. administrator password hashes) beyond the plugin's own scope. However, the vector's PR:H conflicts with the description, which states exploitation only requires 'contributor-level access and above'; a WordPress contributor is a low-privileged authenticated role, so PR:L is more defensible and the real barrier to entry is lower than PR:H implies. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, SSVC decision, or public POC is present in the provided data, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. Net real-world risk is tempered by the authentication requirement (an attacker must already hold a contributor account on the target site), but is elevated by the fact that successful exploitation yields administrator credential hashes, enabling privilege escalation to full site takeover. This is a credible but not emergency priority - prioritize on sites that allow untrusted contributor registrations.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who holds (or registers/obtains) a contributor-level WordPress account on a site running BSK PDF Manager ≤3.8.1 submits a crafted value in the vulnerable parameter, injecting SQL into a backend query. Because input is not sanitised or escaped, they extract sensitive rows such as the wp_users administrator password hashes, which can then be cracked offline or used to pivot to admin. No public exploit code is identified in the provided data, and no user interaction is required.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 18, 2026

Authenticated SQL injection in the BSK PDF Manager WordPress plugin through 3.8.1 allows users with contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious input into an unsanitised plugin parameter and read sensitive database contents, including administrator password hashes. Exploitation requires a valid low-privilege WordPress account; sites that do not allow untrusted registration or do not grant contributor access to outsiders have substantially reduced exposure. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis, and the impact described is confidentiality-only.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch was identified at time of analysis; administrators should monitor the WPScan advisory (https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/e33c7673-2e31-4f0f-9e29-c65a6b4944a5/) for a fixed release and upgrade beyond 3.8.1 as soon as one is available. Until then, disable or remove the BSK PDF Manager plugin if it is not essential, recognizing that this eliminates PDF management functionality. If the plugin must remain active, restrict contributor-level and higher accounts to trusted users, disable open user registration, and audit existing roles so outsiders cannot obtain the low-privilege account required for exploitation. Deploy WAF or virtual-patching rules targeting SQL injection against the plugin's parameters, accepting possible false positives and the need to tune rules. Because administrator password hashes may be exposed, reset administrator passwords and review database and web-server logs for suspicious queries if contributor accounts are not tightly controlled.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The BSK PDF Manager plugin for WordPress fails to sanitise and escape a parameter before concatenating it into a SQL statement, the classic CWE-89 SQL injection pattern. Because the vulnerable code path is reachable by authenticated users holding contributor-level capabilities or above, an attacker who can obtain such an account can alter query logic and read data from the WordPress database, including administrator password hashes. The authoritative assessment rates this as CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, reflecting network reachability, low attack complexity, authenticated low-privilege access, and high confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability impact. No CPE strings were supplied; EUVD identifies BSK PDF Manager versions through 3.8.1 as affected.

Attack Technique

SQL injection exploits the way applications construct database queries by mixing user input directly into SQL statements.

Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
