DescriptionCVE.org

Unauthenticated SQL Injection in Nikstore Core <= 1.5 versions.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated SQL injection in the Nikstore Core WordPress plugin (versions <= 1.5) lets remote attackers inject arbitrary SQL through unsanitized input reaching a database query, per a Patchstack report classified under CWE-89. Any exposed WordPress site running the plugin is reachable without credentials, and the changed CVSS scope reflects the database being a distinct security authority from the web application. …

Exfiltrate wp_users and sensitive data
Impact
Reuse stolen credentials for compromise

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires only that a target WordPress site has the Nikstore Core plugin (version 1.5 or earlier) installed and active, with the vulnerable request endpoint reachable over the network; the CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N confirms no authentication and no user interaction are needed against a default install. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The signals are largely aligned toward high priority: the CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated attack, which is the classic profile for opportunistic and automated exploitation, and the 9.3 score is driven up by the changed scope (S:C) plus high confidentiality impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker discovers an internet-facing WordPress site running Nikstore Core <= 1.5 via plugin fingerprinting, then sends a single crafted HTTP request with a malicious SQL payload in a vulnerable parameter, requiring no authentication or user interaction. The injected query returns database contents such as usernames and password hashes from wp_users, enabling credential theft and follow-on account compromise. …
Remediation No vendor-released patch version is identified at time of analysis; the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/nikstore-core/vulnerability/wordpress-nikstore-core-plugin-1-5-sql-injection-vulnerability?_s_id=cve) is the authoritative reference and should be checked for a release beyond 1.5, which must be applied as the primary fix once available. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all WordPress installations to identify those running Nikstore Core plugin version 1.5 or earlier and confirm internet exposure. …
