Network-reachable WordPress endpoint, low complexity, requires a Subscriber account (PR:L); SQLi crosses scope into the shared DB yielding high confidentiality, no direct integrity, and low availability impact.

Subscriber SQL Injection in Taskbuilder <= 5.0.7 versions.

AnalysisAI

SQL injection in the Taskbuilder WordPress plugin versions 5.0.7 and earlier allows authenticated Subscriber-level users to inject malicious SQL into backend database queries, enabling exposure of sensitive data including credential hashes and limited integrity/availability impact on the underlying WordPress site. The flaw was disclosed by Patchstack and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.5 driven by a scope change to the database tier; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not on CISA KEV.

Technical ContextAI

Taskbuilder is a WordPress plugin (CPE cpe:2.3:a:taskbuilder:taskbuilder:*) that exposes task-management endpoints to authenticated users. CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command) indicates that user-controlled parameters reach a SQL query without proper parameterization or use of $wpdb->prepare(), letting an attacker break out of the intended query context. Because WordPress shares a single database across all plugins and core tables (wp_users, wp_usermeta, etc.), a successful SQLi from a low-privilege account can pivot far beyond the plugin's own data.

RemediationAI

Patch available per vendor advisory; administrators should upgrade Taskbuilder to the version above 5.0.7 published on the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/taskbuilder/vulnerability/wordpress-taskbuilder-plugin-5-0-7-sql-injection-vulnerability and verify via the WordPress plugin updater. Where immediate patching is not possible, disable open user registration in WordPress Settings > General (trading off self-service signup), deactivate the Taskbuilder plugin until updated (trading off the task-management feature), or place a WAF rule in front of the affected Taskbuilder AJAX/REST endpoints to block SQL meta-characters in request parameters (trading off potential false positives on legitimate task content). After patching, rotate any secrets and password hashes that may have been exposed via the shared wp_users table.
