Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires only that the PixelYourSite Boost plugin (version ≤2.0.4) is installed and activated on an internet-reachable WordPress site, with the vulnerable request-handling endpoint accessible - the CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N confirms no authentication, no user interaction, and low complexity, so no special configuration is described as necessary. The primary limiting factor is deployment scope: only sites with this specific plugin active are exploitable, which materially narrows the attack surface versus a WordPress-core flaw. The exact vulnerable parameter/endpoint and whether the injection is blind (consistent with the supplied I:N/C:H vector) should be confirmed from the Patchstack advisory.

Impact

The signals are mixed. The supplied CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:L, 9.3 critical) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated attack with high confidentiality impact and a scope change - consistent with database exfiltration from an unauthenticated endpoint. However, no EPSS score, SSVC decision, POC, or KEV status was provided, so exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified from the input. It is NOT in CISA KEV and no public exploit was identified, arguing against confirmed active exploitation. The I:N (no integrity impact) in the supplied vector is atypical for SQLi and suggests the researcher assessed a read-only/blind injection rather than a data-modifying one - this should be verified against the Patchstack advisory. Given unauthenticated network reach and low complexity against WordPress (a heavily scanned surface), this warrants prompt patching where deployed, tempered by the plugin's narrow install base.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker fingerprints a WordPress site running the Boost plugin ≤2.0.4, then sends a single crafted unauthenticated HTTP request with a malicious SQL payload in a request parameter. Because no authentication or user interaction is required and complexity is low, the attacker uses union-based or blind techniques to extract sensitive data such as user records, password hashes, and secret keys. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, but the low-complexity unauthenticated nature makes weaponization straightforward.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 24, 2026

Unauthenticated SQL injection in the PixelYourSite "Boost" WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 2.0.4) lets remote attackers inject arbitrary SQL through an unauthenticated request, exposing the WordPress database on any internet-facing site running the plugin. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 9.3 (critical) with a changed-scope, confidentiality-focused vector. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, so exploitation is currently theoretical, but the barrier to abuse is low.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patched version was identified at time of analysis (EUVD records the fix as "n/a" for versions ≤2.0.4), so an exact upgrade target cannot yet be cited - monitor the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/boost/vulnerability/wordpress-boost-plugin-2-0-4-sql-injection-vulnerability) and the PixelYourSite changelog for a release above 2.0.4 and apply it immediately when available. As compensating controls, deactivate and remove the Boost plugin if it is not essential (eliminates the vulnerable code path entirely, at the cost of the plugin's tracking functionality); alternatively deploy a WordPress-aware WAF such as Patchstack virtual patching or a ruleset blocking SQL-injection patterns against the plugin's endpoints (may cause false positives on legitimate parameters), and restrict access to the vulnerable request handlers via server rules where feasible. Maintain database backups and enforce least privilege on the WordPress DB account to limit exposure if injection occurs.

Technical ContextAI · show details

This is a CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command) flaw in a WordPress plugin. The affected component per CPE is cpe:2.3:a:pixelyoursite_professional:boost - the Boost plugin from PixelYourSite, a vendor of marketing/pixel and event-tracking WordPress extensions. SQL injection in WordPress plugins typically occurs when attacker-controlled request parameters (GET/POST/AJAX handlers) are passed into $wpdb queries without $wpdb->prepare() or prepared statements, letting an attacker break out of the intended query and read or manipulate the shared MySQL/MariaDB backend that stores all WordPress content, secret keys, and user credentials.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

The PixelYourSite Boost WordPress plugin contains a critical unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability affecting versions 2.0.4 and earlier that enables direct database access on any internet-facing site running the plugin. This poses immediate risk of customer data theft, payment information exposure, and potential regulatory violations. Organizations must prioritize removal of this plugin as no patch is currently available.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) immediately disable and remove the plugin from all WordPress installations; (2) implement Web Application Firewall rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting this vulnerability; (3) enable comprehensive database query logging and alerting for unusual administrative access; (4) segment database access to limit lateral movement if compromise occurs; (5) review database backups and access logs for evidence of unauthorized access; (6) restore from clean backup if breach is confirmed.
