Unauthenticated network-reachable SQLi on a WordPress plugin endpoint; typical SQLi grants full read and write to the WordPress DB, so C:H/I:H, with scope unchanged since impact is within the same DB authority.

Unauthenticated SQL Injection in ListingPro <= 2.9.10 versions.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated SQL injection in the ListingPro WordPress plugin (versions ≤ 2.9.10) allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL into backend queries without credentials, exposing the WordPress database to extraction and manipulation. Reported by Patchstack and tracked as EUVD-2026-37469, the flaw carries a 9.3 CVSS with scope change, indicating impact beyond the vulnerable component. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
ListingPro is a commercial WordPress directory/listing plugin by Emraan Cheema (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:emraan_cheema:listingpro). 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 without proper parameterization or escaping via $wpdb->prepare(). Because the plugin runs inside WordPress and queries the shared wp_* schema, a successful injection reaches the same database that stores user credentials, session tokens, and site configuration - explaining the CVSS scope change (S:C).
RemediationAI
Upstream fix availability is not independently confirmed in the provided data - the Patchstack reference indicates the vulnerability affects versions ≤ 2.9.10, implying a fix in a later release, but no exact patched version is enumerated here, so administrators should consult the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/listingpro-plugin/vulnerability/wordpress-listingpro-plugin-2-9-10-sql-injection-vulnerability) and upgrade to the latest ListingPro release published by Emraan Cheema. As compensating controls until patched, deploy a WordPress WAF rule (Patchstack, Wordfence, or equivalent) that blocks SQL meta-characters on the vulnerable plugin endpoints, restrict access to the affected listing/search endpoints via IP allowlist or HTTP auth if business workflows permit (with the side effect of breaking public directory functionality), and enable database query logging plus MySQL least-privilege so the WordPress DB user cannot execute FILE or administrative statements. Rotate WordPress salts, admin passwords, and any API tokens stored in wp_options after patching, since pre-patch credential exposure cannot be ruled out.
