MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Persistence The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | The target WordPress site must have the Beardev JoomSport plugin installed and activated at version 5.7.7 or earlier, with the vulnerable plugin endpoint reachable over HTTP/HTTPS by the attacker. Per CVSS PR:N/UI:N, no authentication and no user interaction are required, so default WordPress deployments running this plugin are exposed. Limiting factors are narrow: only sites running this specific plugin are affected, and exploitation is blind (no direct query output), so attackers must invest scanner time to extract data through inference channels. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:L indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated attack with scope change and high confidentiality impact - a realistic priority for any WordPress site running the plugin. Patchstack catalogues the issue but no KEV listing and no EPSS score were provided in the input, so widespread automated exploitation cannot be confirmed; however, WordPress plugin SQLi flaws are routinely weaponised by mass scanners once disclosed. The I:N rating is notable - the CVSS authors judged that injection cannot modify data, which is unusual for SQLi and may understate risk if write-capable queries are reachable; defenders should treat this as a high-priority patching item regardless. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker scans WordPress sites for the JoomSport plugin, then sends a crafted HTTP GET or POST request to a vulnerable plugin endpoint embedding a blind SQL payload (boolean or time-based) into a parameter consumed by an unsanitised query. By iterating queries and observing response differences or delays, the attacker exfiltrates wp_users password hashes, session tokens, or arbitrary database content. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the low complexity and unauthenticated vector make weaponisation straightforward once the vulnerable parameter is identified. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 11, 2026
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.
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).

Technical ContextAI · show details
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.

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in Beardev JoomSport allows Blind SQL Injection.
This issue affects JoomSport: from n/a through 5.7.7.
Articles & Coverage 1
Executive ViewAI
Beardev JoomSport WordPress plugin through version 5.7.7 contains a critical SQL injection vulnerability (CVSS 9.3) exploitable by unauthenticated remote attackers, creating direct risk of database compromise and customer data exposure for any organization deploying this plugin. No vendor patch is currently available, leaving affected sites in an exposed state until remediation.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Disable or uninstall the plugin if not essential to operations; (2) Deploy Web Application Firewall rules to detect and block SQL injection attack patterns; (3) Implement enhanced database query logging and anomaly detection to identify exploitation attempts; (4) Reduce database account privileges to least-privilege access required by the plugin.
