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 | No special conditions beyond having the Listdom plugin (version 5.6.0 or earlier) installed and active on a reachable WordPress site - the CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N indicates remote, unauthenticated exploitation with no user interaction against default deployments. The primary limiting factor is simply that the target must be running a vulnerable Listdom version; the specific injectable parameter/endpoint is not disclosed in the provided data and would need to be identified from the Patchstack advisory to build a working request. |
| Impact | The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:L, score 9.3) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated attack - the highest-priority exploitation profile. However, no EPSS score, KEV listing, POC, or SSVC data was supplied, so real-world exploitation pressure cannot be quantified from the input. The signals are somewhat internally inconsistent: a scope change (S:C) plus C:H/I:N/A:L is an unusual SQLi rating (SQLi typically yields high confidentiality and often integrity impact rather than availability), suggesting the vendor scored a specific limited-read sink - verify exact impact with the Patchstack advisory. Net: treat as high priority for any site running Listdom because unauthenticated SQLi is trivially automatable once a POC surfaces, but note that active exploitation is not confirmed. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP request to a vulnerable Listdom endpoint, injecting SQL into a parameter that is concatenated into a backend query. This lets them enumerate and dump database contents - such as WordPress user records and password hashes - enabling follow-on credential cracking and site takeover. No public exploit code has been identified yet, but the low attack complexity makes weaponization straightforward once details circulate. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 13, 2026
Unauthenticated SQL injection in the Listdom WordPress plugin (Webilia) through version 5.6.0 lets remote attackers inject arbitrary SQL into backend database queries without any authentication or user interaction. Reported by Patchstack and rated CVSS 9.3, it primarily threatens the confidentiality of the WordPress database (user credentials, session data, private listings). No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Listdom to a release later than 5.6.0 once the vendor publishes a fixed version; the input data does not include an exact patched version number, so consult the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/listdom/vulnerability/wordpress-listdom-plugin-5-6-0-sql-injection-vulnerability?_s_id=cve) and the WordPress plugin changelog to confirm the corrected build before deploying. Until a confirmed patch is applied, deploy a WAF or WordPress virtual-patch rule (Patchstack's own vPatch covers this CVE) to block SQL-injection payloads against the plugin's endpoints, restrict access to the affected listing/search endpoints, or temporarily deactivate the plugin - with the trade-off that deactivation removes all directory functionality from the site. Ensure database backups exist before any remediation in case data has already been exfiltrated or tampered with.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Listdom is a WordPress business-directory / listings plugin developed by Webilia Inc. (CPE cpe:2.3:a:webilia_inc.:listdom). The flaw is a classic CWE-89 SQL Injection: user-controlled input reaches a database query without proper parameterization or use of WordPress's $wpdb->prepare() sanitization, allowing an attacker to break out of the intended query context. Because the vulnerable endpoint is reachable pre-authentication, any unauthenticated visitor can manipulate the underlying MySQL/MariaDB queries that back the plugin's directory features.

DescriptionCVE.org
Unauthenticated SQL Injection in Listdom <= 5.6.0 versions.
Executive ViewAI
The Listdom WordPress plugin (Webilia) version 5.6.0 and earlier contains a critical unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability that allows remote attackers to directly compromise the WordPress database containing user credentials, session tokens, and private listing data. Any organization running this plugin faces immediate risk of unauthorized data access and potential user account takeover without requiring authentication or user interaction.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Recommended interim mitigations: (1) uninstall or disable the Listdom plugin if operationally feasible; (2) implement WAF signatures blocking SQL injection against WordPress database queries; (3) apply principle of least privilege to database user accounts; (4) enable comprehensive database audit logging to detect unusual query patterns; (5) isolate database network access through firewall rules or network segmentation.
