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 | Requires (1) an authenticated WordPress session at Subscriber role or above on the target site - satisfied trivially where 'Anyone can register' is enabled, otherwise requiring credential theft or prior account compromise; (2) the WP Review Slider Pro plugin installed and active at version <= 12.6.8 so that the wpfb_find_reviews AJAX action is registered; and (3) network reachability to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php. No user interaction by a victim is needed, no non-default plugin configuration is required, and exploitation is platform-agnostic across the LAMP/LEMP stacks WordPress runs on. The principal limiter is the Subscriber-or-above authentication gate; sites with registration disabled significantly raise the bar. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H (8.8 High) reflects that exploitation only requires a low-privilege WordPress account and a single crafted AJAX request - trivial on any site that allows self-registration (a common WordPress default). The C:H/I:H/A:H impacts are slightly aggressive for a SELECT-only IN-clause injection that primarily enables data exfiltration; integrity and availability impact via stacked queries is constrained by $wpdb->get_results which typically executes a single statement on MySQL, so realistic impact is closer to C:H/I:L/A:L unless the attacker chains into administrative takeover by reading password hashes or auth keys. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC was provided in the intelligence, and the only reference is the Wordfence threat-intel entry, so widespread automated exploitation is not yet evidenced - but the SQLi class is highly automatable once a researcher publishes payload details. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker registers a free Subscriber-level account on a target WordPress site running WP Review Slider Pro <= 12.6.8, then sends a POST request to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php with action=wpfb_find_reviews and a crafted curselrevs[] array element such as |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 16, 2026
Authenticated SQL injection in the WP Review Slider Pro WordPress plugin through version 12.6.8 lets Subscriber-level users append arbitrary SQL via the wpfb_find_reviews AJAX action, enabling extraction of sensitive database contents including user credentials and secrets. The flaw is reachable by any logged-in WordPress account, which on sites with open registration effectively lowers the bar to near-unauthenticated. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version is identified in the provided intelligence; administrators should consult the Wordfence advisory at https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/633d26e9-8a05-4f4b-93a8-5644f2f699db?source=cve and the vendor site https://wpreviewslider.com/ for an updated release above 12.6.8 and upgrade immediately once available. Until a patched build is installed, deactivate the WP Review Slider Pro plugin or, at minimum, block POST requests to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php with action=wpfb_find_reviews from non-administrator sessions via a WAF/ModSecurity rule (trade-off: any review-slider AJAX features will stop working). Also disable open user registration (Settings → General → uncheck 'Anyone can register') to remove the Subscriber-level prerequisite, and audit existing low-privilege accounts; this prevents the most realistic exploitation path but does not protect against an attacker who already controls a Subscriber account.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability sits in the wpfb_find_reviews AJAX handler of WP Review Slider Pro, a commercial WordPress plugin (CPE cpe:2.3:a:https://wpreviewslider.com/:wp_review_slider_pro) used to display third-party review widgets. The handler reads $_POST['curselrevs'] as a raw array and concatenates each element directly into a WHERE id IN ( ... ) clause, then executes via $wpdb->get_results() without $wpdb->prepare(). This is a textbook CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command): the IN-list values are neither cast to integers nor quoted, so any array element can break out of the integer context and inject arbitrary SQL such as UNION SELECT statements against the wp_users or wp_options tables.

DescriptionCVE.org
The WP Review Slider Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'curselrevs[]' parameter of the wpfb_find_reviews AJAX action in versions up to, and including, 12.6.8. This is due to the handler reading $_POST['curselrevs'] raw with no sanitization or type casting, then concatenating each array element directly into a WHERE id IN ( ... ) clause without quoting and executing via $wpdb->get_results() without $wpdb->prepare(). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
Executive ViewAI
WP Review Slider Pro (versions ≤12.6.8) contains an authenticated SQL injection vulnerability enabling credential and secret extraction from WordPress databases. Any subscriber-level user-or potential attacker with free account registration-can access the AJAX interface to dump sensitive database contents, creating immediate credential-theft risk. No vendor patch is available, requiring urgent removal or disablement of the plugin.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Immediate mitigations: (1) Disable and remove the vulnerable plugin; (2) Restrict subscriber account creation or remove existing subscriber accounts; (3) Implement database-layer access controls and monitor AJAX requests to wp-admin/admin-ajax.php for wpfb_find_reviews actions; (4) Enable database query logging and alert on unexpected SQL patterns; (5) Apply network segmentation to isolate the database from non-essential services.
