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 | Exploitation requires a valid WordPress administrator account (PR:H) - either a legitimate admin acting maliciously or an attacker who has already obtained admin credentials via a separate attack. The InfiniteWP Client plugin must be installed and active on the target WordPress instance. The injection is network-reachable (AV:N) over standard HTTP/HTTPS with low attack complexity (AC:L), meaning no special network position, race condition, or chained vulnerability is required once credentials are in hand. Exploitation is strictly bounded by the high privilege requirement: unauthenticated users, subscribers, editors, and authors cannot exploit this vulnerability. Sites enforcing MFA on administrator accounts, restricting wp-admin by IP, or running web application firewalls with SQL injection rulesets significantly reduce realistic exploitation likelihood beyond what the raw CVSS score implies. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.6 with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:L reflects a network-exploitable blind SQL injection that nonetheless requires high privileges - consistent with a WordPress administrator role. The scope change (S:C) elevates the score meaningfully, indicating that the SQL injection can affect components beyond the vulnerable plugin itself, likely the shared database server or other hosted applications. EPSS probability data was not provided, preventing quantitative exploitation likelihood estimation. No KEV listing and no confirmed public POC code reduce immediate urgency compared to actively exploited issues. The PR:H requirement is the dominant risk-limiting factor: exploitation is contingent on a compromised or malicious administrator account, making sites with strong admin account hygiene and MFA significantly more resilient. The primary realistic threat model is post-credential-compromise lateral movement or insider threat rather than opportunistic internet scanning. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has compromised WordPress administrator credentials - through phishing, credential stuffing, or a malicious insider - authenticates to the backend and submits a crafted HTTP request to an InfiniteWP Client administrative endpoint containing a blind SQL injection payload. Using time-based or boolean-based inference over a series of automated requests, the attacker incrementally extracts sensitive database contents, including WordPress user password hashes, stored API keys, and other application data. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, meaning exploitation currently requires manual or custom tooling against the blind injection vector. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 20, 2026
Blind SQL Injection in the InfiniteWP Client WordPress plugin (revmakx) through version 1.13.9 allows high-privileged authenticated attackers to exfiltrate database contents via crafted network requests. The scope-changed CVSS vector (S:C/C:H) indicates the injection reaches beyond the WordPress application boundary into the underlying database layer, enabling extraction of sensitive stored data including credentials and application records. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, though Patchstack's disclosure confirms it is reproducible.
RemediationAI
Update InfiniteWP Client to the version released after 1.13.9 - no specific patched version number was confirmed in available intelligence data; consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/iwp-client/vulnerability/wordpress-infinitewp-client-plugin-1-13-9-sql-injection-vulnerability or the WordPress plugin repository at wordpress.org/plugins/iwp-client for the confirmed remediated release. As compensating controls while patching: enforce multi-factor authentication on all WordPress administrator accounts to significantly raise the bar for the required PR:H credential (trade-off: minor admin friction); restrict wp-admin access by IP allowlist at the server or WAF layer to block unapproved sources from reaching the vulnerable endpoint (trade-off: may affect legitimate remote administrators); or temporarily deactivate the InfiniteWP Client plugin to eliminate the attack surface entirely until patching is feasible (trade-off: disables all InfiniteWP site management functionality).

Technical ContextAI · show details
InfiniteWP Client is a WordPress plugin (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:revmakx:infinitewp_client) that enables centralized management of multiple WordPress sites from a single administrative interface. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in SQL Commands), manifesting specifically as blind SQL injection - a variant where query results are not returned inline but can be inferred through boolean-based or time-based side channels over repeated requests. The affected code fails to adequately parameterize or sanitize user-controlled input before interpolating it into SQL query strings against the underlying MySQL or MariaDB database, allowing structural manipulation of queries without direct output reflection.

DescriptionCVE.org
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in revmakx InfiniteWP Client allows Blind SQL Injection.
This issue affects InfiniteWP Client: from n/a through 1.13.9.
Executive ViewAI
InfiniteWP Client WordPress plugin versions 1.13.9 and earlier contain a blind SQL injection vulnerability exploitable by authenticated high-privileged users to extract database credentials and application records. This creates direct risk of unauthorized access to managed WordPress systems and potential lateral movement within the organization's hosting infrastructure.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Restrict administrative plugin access to essential personnel; enable database query logging with alerting for SQL injection signatures; segment WordPress infrastructure from critical databases; enforce multi-factor authentication on admin accounts; conduct weekly audit of database access logs for unauthorized credential or sensitive data queries.
