Articles & Coverage 1
AnalysisAI
Blind SQL injection in Beardev JoomSport (WordPress plugin) through version 5.7.7 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to inject crafted SQL into backend database queries. The CVSS 9.3 score reflects a scope-changed impact with high confidentiality exposure and partial availability impact, and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis though Patchstack has catalogued the issue.
Technical ContextAI
JoomSport (cpe:2.3:a:beardev:joomsport) is a WordPress plugin marketed as 'JoomSport - Sports League Results Management' used to publish league tables, fixtures, and results on WordPress sites. The root cause is CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command, meaning user-controllable input is concatenated into SQL queries against the WordPress database (typically MySQL/MariaDB) without parameterization or proper escaping via wpdb->prepare(). Because the flaw is blind, the attacker does not see query output directly and instead infers data through boolean or time-based side channels against the wp_ tables.
RemediationAI
Upgrade JoomSport to a version newer than 5.7.7 once the vendor publishes a fix; consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/joomsport-sports-league-results-management/vulnerability/wordpress-joomsport-plugin-5-7-7-sql-injection-vulnerability for the patched release number. Patch available per vendor advisory; until the fixed plugin version is deployed, compensating controls include deactivating the JoomSport plugin entirely (removes the league/results frontend functionality), placing the site behind a WAF with WordPress SQLi signatures enabled such as Patchstack or Wordfence (may produce false positives on legitimate admin queries), and restricting access to the vulnerable plugin endpoints via webserver rules or IP allowlisting (breaks public visitor access to sports content).
