3DescriptionCVE.org
The Readabler plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection in all versions up to 2.0.18 (exclusive) due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
AnalysisAI
SQL Injection in the Readabler WordPress plugin affects all versions prior to 2.0.18, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to append malicious SQL clauses to existing database queries and exfiltrate sensitive data from the WordPress database. The flaw stems from insufficient escaping of user-supplied input combined with unprepared SQL queries inside the plugin. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | No special conditions are required beyond the presence of the Readabler plugin at a version below 2.0.18 on a network-accessible WordPress installation. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N places this at peak exploitability for a read-only injection: fully remote, unauthenticated, no user interaction, no special conditions, with high confidentiality impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP request to a WordPress site running a vulnerable version of Readabler, injecting SQL syntax into an insufficiently sanitized parameter. The injected payload appends a UNION SELECT or stacked query clause, causing the database to return sensitive records such as WordPress user password hashes, email addresses, or stored plugin data. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade the Readabler WordPress plugin to version 2.0.18 or later, which is identified as the first non-vulnerable version per the Wordfence advisory (https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/baaa9688-dfdc-4ab2-b033-fe2b13a42e77) and the Patchstack report (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/readabler/vulnerability/wordpress-readabler-plugin-2-0-18-sql-injection-vulnerability). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
