Unauthenticated SQL Injection in RealPress <= 1.1.2 versions.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated SQL injection in the RealPress WordPress plugin (by ThimPress) affects all versions up to and including 1.1.2, letting remote attackers with no credentials inject crafted SQL through an exposed parameter and read arbitrary data from the site's database. Reported by Patchstack and rated CVSS 9.3, the flaw requires no authentication or user interaction, though there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV. The primary consequence is disclosure of sensitive database contents such as user records and credential hashes.
Technical ContextAI
RealPress is a plugin extending WordPress, a PHP application that stores content and user data in a MySQL/MariaDB backend (CPE cpe:2.3:a:thimpress:realpress). The root cause is CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command): user-controllable input is concatenated into a SQL query without parameterization or proper sanitization/escaping, so attacker-supplied syntax is interpreted as part of the query. In WordPress plugins this typically arises when request parameters are passed to $wpdb methods or raw queries without prepare()/placeholders, exposing the shared WordPress database to untrusted callers.
RemediationAI
Upgrade RealPress to a fixed release newer than 1.1.2; the input data does not specify an exact patched version number, so consult the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/realpress/vulnerability/wordpress-realpress-plugin-1-1-2-sql-injection-vulnerability) and the ThimPress changelog to confirm the fixed build before deploying. If an update cannot be applied immediately, deactivate and remove the RealPress plugin to eliminate exposure (trade-off: any RealPress-provided functionality is lost), or place the site behind a WAF with SQL-injection rules and virtual-patching for this CVE (trade-off: signature rules can be bypassed and are a stopgap, not a fix). Additionally restrict the WordPress database account's privileges to the minimum needed and monitor for anomalous query patterns to limit and detect exploitation while patching is scheduled.
